Leg of Lamb for Easter Dinner

[MileHighSmokerGirl]

The year before's (2022) lamb smoke was ruined before a coal was ever lit. I went off and left the meat in the microwave for 3 days. $70 down the drain.

This time I didn't make that mistake.

This is the recipe I am following today.

Smoked Leg of Lamb (Boneless or Bone-in)

How to smoke a leg of lamb, whether boneless or bone-in. Enjoy tender, juicy meat with pleasant smokiness.

The coals have been lit and I'm just about to get underway here.

Fresh homemade cornbread and stove too green beans will accompany the lamb with a glass of Raspberry Wine from Arrington Vineyards. And cheesecake for dessert.

And I'm off and running!

Sounds great, can't wait to see the end result...

Looks great Hanna, what are we shooting for on IT? Medium rare? Or pulled lamb? Either way lamb is my hands down favorite, some of my family not so much, and not real sure what’s wrong with them.

Waiting for the finish.

I'm going for 140-145° - medium. Any more than that and it dries out. I'm not much of a medium rare eater.

No pulled lamb. Just slicing it up and serving it.

3 hrs on the button. It wasn't an overly large leg of lamb. The recipe said 5 hrs @ 225-250, my smoker held right at 245-250.

But this looks delicious and TASTES delicious.

It wasn't nearly as greasy as the lamb chops I had at the Montana Rib & Chop House in 2017.

I’d fight you over what’s on that board. Looks fantastic, and very nice work.

 

[JLinza]

I'd take a plate of that, looks delicious

Thank you guys. This is fantastic.

Looks really good Hannah! Maybe start calling you an enabler too... now I'm gonna have to try some lamb. Know I ate some growing up but that was a long time ago.

Beautiful! I haven't had lamb in a long time. I just uncovered a couple years old leg in the freezer last week.

I liked the taste of the lamb at the Montana Rib & Chophouse back in Nov 2017 but the grease really put me off.

I was nervous trying this again today but it wasn't any more or less than a brisket.

The texture was similar to that of ham but with the similar taste of prime rib.

A little dessert after waking up from a nap.
