The weekend before last we celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. We spent the day up on the Blue Ridge Parkway taking in the mountains and then came down to have dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant in Greensboro. The only problem was it was Sunday and they were closed. :facepalm: So to make up for it, I ran out to pick up a boneless leg o' lamb which happens to be one of Mrs. Solaryellow's favorites.

I start off with a mediterranean rub I came up with that consists of garlic, rosemary, oregano, kosher salt, marjoram, parsely and onion.


Then I stuff it with garlic. We love garlic a lot!


Then to keep the whole thing together I use silicone oven safe rubber bands. I like those much better than my half-assed butcher twine skillz. And onto the UDS it went.


And then once we hit 145* IT, it was time to put a smile on wifey's face. :biggrin:

 
Looks like it came out great Joel 

Happy Anniversary to both of you

I am hoping that next year it is stuffed with some of the garlic you sent me Dave. I am gonna plant it all my friend. :biggrin:
 
Did you use any wood? What flavor? My wife just called me and said she bought me 1/2 a lamb...

Smoked alot of thing but never a lamb...I'm excited!!!!!
 
Looks great.  The old lady also loves lamb so i'll have to try out your rub.  Nice touch on the silicon bands never knew they had them I really need to pick up a few as I think trying to tie uni-uni knots with twine may have been overkill..
 
thanks for the motivation...

I have a new smoker and have been itching to cook some lamb for the wifey and some Indian friends that have their own restaurant.

restaurant depot had frozen boneless legs for $3.29 today.

I'll be heading back there in the next day or so.

your rub sounds like what I used when I cook them in the Show Time rotisserie.  Our Indian friends have a great spice blend that he uses for skewers in his tandoori oven that I might try, just not sure yet

would you(or anyone else) recommend a wood for flavoring?  I have a new amazing pellet smoker I'm learning with and I'm thinking mesquite, just not sure
 
Don't know where I was 2 weeks ago but I missed this.

 Any who, that looks perfect to me. I like the whole Mediterranean Rub but Migraine's Tandori Rub sounds awesome too, I make great Tandori Chicken...JJ
 
It looks wonderful. I think lamb will be my next project. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks flyboy2! Good luck with your project. Thumbs Up

I may have to try that Jimmy. Thanks for the idea!

boykjo and I got to try some lamb sausage at a farmer's market that reminded me of the lamb I made. I may have to try it in tube form now. :biggrin:
 
Hi solar - I just picked up a boneless leg at Costco and had a few questions, hope you can remember some details??  It's my first lamb smoke.  I saw you used hickory, I was thinking based on some reading of using oak.  Have you done more legs after this one?

What temp did you smoke at?  What was your leg weight pre-smoke and about how long did take to get up to temp?  And did you rest it at all post-smoke?

Any help you can provide is appreciated!

Tom
