Turned out pretty good for my first open fire roast. Keeping consistent temps underneath the leg wasn't easy, the final result may have yielded a slightly rarer finish than preferred, but the experience was a TON of fun

That looks like a great start.
Open fire cooking is a challenge for large cuts of meat, this what I really want a rotisserie for
Glad to hear you had a successful finish.

Rare-med rare is my preferred finish, I like some blood.

Looks great I do a lot of meat that way even turkeys.

That looked superb, I love lamb cooked over wood. If temperatures can be a little hit and miss, if you butterfly the leg (take the bone out and open it up) you can, in my opinion, get a more even cook as even if it gets a bit too hot, the outside only gets that tasty char/crust rather than burns by the time the middle is done.
