I followed the recipe on the main page, it works great.

The recipe on the main page looks interesting. I'll give it a try.

I wonder if it would work at lower temps for longer time ?

Most of the leg of lamb I find around here is bone in & not in a net.

Lamb has a taste that has to be acquired, strange flavor to lots of folks. I love it occasionally. Seems most comes imported from New Zeland.

The one that I cooked was bone-in. I came out very tender and juicy. Serve it for easter and got everyone hooked.

So, here it is. I'm back for the summer Q-in' season.

Here's the game plan. Make a stuffing:
--grilled corn
--grilled green onions
--grilled peppers (peal once done)

chop and combine with olive oil and that's the stuffing.

Then grill up some leg of lamb once stuff'd (similar to the front page) and we're good to go....

....but wait, make a yellow pepper seasoning on it by cooking 5-7 peppers (after roasting and pealing) and then add to it stock and demi glaze (home made of course) Surprised

Dont forget to season with some curry powder or even cumin + fresh herbs and then (in batches) take to the blender and puree. Once all is puree'd there's your sauce to pour over the leg of lamb once done.

eat with a glass of Oregon Pinot Noir and of course a salad, slaw, potatoes, whatever.

is this TOO MUCH for my mother in law for mothers day? It's between this and Q-in some 'ole fashion pork ribs. Let me know. Alternatively i could cook a stuffed chicken too. Thoughts?

I smoke these every day.

Rub and smoke.

If I'm throwing them in with beef or pork, I smoke them at 230 to 170 internal. (I would cook them to a lower temp, but nobody here will eat pink meat.

If I'm cooking them with chickens, I'll cook at a temp up to 340 to 170 internal.

Both produce good results, but lamb doesn't take on the smoke flavor like pork or brisket.

Don't expect it to.

Being from New Zealand I smoke lamb often. Of all the meat I have smoked, lamb tastes the best. Lamb + smoke = money.
I rub it with a course salt anf fresh minced garlic. Smoke it at 275-300 until the colour looks good and the meat is tender enough to pull out. Be sure to rest and serve with a dark gravy or jus.
