Title: Smoked Leg of Lamb today
Post by: McSev2010 on October 05, 2013, 10:03:59 AM
My first leg of lamb is in the smoker today - first ever. It's an organic bone in and was marinating in it's Greek rub all night (garlic, rosemary, salt, coarse black pepper, oregano a little onion power, marjoram.) Smoking with white oak,  til it's 160F since it's a bone in.

I don't know about you all, but what prompted me to do this is how Anthony Bourdain ends up with some Bedouin tribe in the desert and they grill/smoke a whole lamb.  If they can do it, can't I? :-)

McSev, looking forward to pics of your results.  It really sounds like an interesting smoke.  How much wood are you using.

I put 2 white oak "blocks" in when I started  (I'm not sure how to gauge "how much" this way) and then  about half way thru I  put in 2 more.

Pics shortly - it's under foils and towels resting.

Juicy, well seasoned, and husband is impressed.  Take that, Anthony Bourdain :-)
