Smoking Leg Of Lamb

[RobinC]

I've never smoked a leg of lamb and fancy giving it a go. I know with low and slow that its done when its done but with pork shoulder a rough rule of thumb that works for me is 1.5 hours per 1lb. Does anyone have a rough rule of thumb for lamb? I need to have a rough guide to aim at so we can make sure that veggies go on at an appropriate time.

I'd prefer shoulder to leg, leg can sometimes be a bit lean for low n slow.....

Sorry no timings

Hi
same as Kieth, would hot roast a leg lo and slow would dry it out imho

Cheers

Ok - don't mind changing to shoulder as I've got a whole lamb to go at.

If you want to cook a Leg of lamb you might want to try and get a recipe from Toby as I seem to remember he wraps it with a couple of jars of mint jelly. When I heard about it it sounded fantastic, but didn't do it myself. As lamb is nearly half price at Asda at the moment, it's a good time to do it!!

may PM him on that. Just fancy low and slowing some lamb as have never tried it - I tend to grill it (quick sear followed by indirect).

Funnily enough, I've been thinking of doing 'pulled lamb' for a while.

However, smoked lamb?

(thinks)

Smoke.

Lamb.

Smoke.

Lamb.

Not working for me. Doesn't prompt any salivating in the way smoke and pork do, but maybe that's just my taste buds (or my lack of imagination).

but you seem to have a general aversion to smoking full stop so I can't say I'm surprised by your post... It is possible to smoke without overpowering something. Anyway its something I want to try

Smoking lamb with cherry always works well for me, but I've always indirect cooked it on the kettle at 350f normally leaving 3hrs for it as it does well with a bit of resting.
