I just deboned a small leg of lamb about 2#. The leg started out at 6# but I took off a few steaks. Anyway, should I cook this little piece direct at about 400 degrees for about 10 minutes? What about indirect? Any help w/b appreciated. Side dishes are pierogies and creamy cucumber.

    fishlessman, since my roast is so small, would you recommend that I Trex on the small egg and have the large stabilized at 325-350. Then let it roast for maybe a 1/2 hour or so?

    <p />Steeler Fan,
    i dont think it will go a whole half hour, i would cook it just like a trexed steak but drop the roasting temps down to maybe 325 for the lamb. i like lamb on the rare side of med rare. this one was less than 2 pounds, i coat in balsamic during the first rest and add most of my spice then instead of before the sear with lamb
