First smoked Leg of Lamb for Easter

[Redicans]

First time I ever smoked a leg of lamb. Did two. One for us and one for a friend and his family. Also a couple of racks of lamb for another friend. It is definitely a favorite for sure. Came out amazing!! Smoked till 135 IT then rested a bit then seared over a hot fire for a few minutes. I served mine up with some cast iron roasted red potatoes and carrots. Also with some really good mint jelly. It was a great day and multiple families are super happy tonight!! That was a total comfort food meal for me.

Mom used to make a leg of lamb every year for Easter growing up and it has been some years since I have had it and it brought back some great memories and hit the spot for sure!!

Thanks JL! Must say I am very happy how it turned out! Very tender and juicy and not too fatty tasting. Very nice cut of meat. Friends were very happy with theirs also so that makes me even more content!!

My Buddies lamb chops sliced up and right before he seared them on his Weber grill. He was super stoked on the Smokey flavor. Smoked to 130 so he could sear them good after he went home to finish his sides.

Damn.... I LOVE lamb but haven't tried cooking it myself yet. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with it at the house. It was always something I left to the pros at restaurants.

I need to change that.

FC you should give it a try. First for me on the Leg. I have done grilled lamb chops and those are quick and easy. Smoking the leg was new for me and am Happy I tried it. Some great info here. I searched a few recipes and it definitely gave me the Ideas I needed to try it!

Thanks chilerelleno , It was a bone in leg and I had never done before so I just sliced parallel to the bone. My slicing knife is one of the best cheap purchases I have made recently, works like a charm!!
