Boneless Leg O' Lamb w/ Qview

[solaryellow]

Let me qualify this by saying I have never been a fan of lamb. I like it when mixed with beef and turned into a gyro but have never liked it any other way. That all changed this weekend. Wifey asked me to throw a lamb on with the brisket and meatloaf this weekend so after scouring many threads in this forum I came up with a rub. My rub consisted of rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper. I then stuffed the leg with cloves of garlic. It then went on the smoker using hickory chunks and apple chips until it hit an internal temp of 140*.

I am now a fan of lamb. I even surprised myself by slicing off a second piece without thinking about it. Thanks for the inspiration folks!

Man that looks delicious, I have never really liked lamb but if that tasted as good as it looks I think I would like it too...

Points for trying something you thought you didn't like!

A wise man once said that.
Good job!

That lamb looks great! I love lamb and smoke it, grill it etc frequently. Congratulations on discovering a new dish that you enjoy. My motto has always been "I'll try any dish Twice" if I didn't like it the first time it might have been poorly prepared.

Nice looking Lamb.

I have made 4 and the first 3 Carol thought it was beef and loved it. The last one she must have seen the label and wouldn't eat it after finding out it was lamb.

You got caught Ron? Great story though.

Man, that's some great looking lamb! Congratulations on a job well done! Mrs Rivet won't let me smoke the ones in our freezer 'cause she says they're hers and she wants them the usual way~ roasted in the oven

The 2 fat kids that live in my house love lamb any way I grill it, smoke it, or no there's no other way. So solar that is some really good looking lamb you have there

for not thinking you wouldn't like it. You said last night that you put a whole head of garlic in it so I had second thoughts but it looks really.
Hey Rivet you should pull a Ron on your wife and tell hers it's beef.

Bootiful lamb you have there. I got to smoke one, but not alot of places to purchase in SE Texas. I eat lamb overseas and think it is great. Good job!!
