Tonights cook was my first Leg of Lamb that I have ever cooked, and it turned out awesome!
The first thing I did was to trim off the fat, second the night before I roasted some garlic and cut slits into the the meat and inserted the roasted garlic, I then made a rub using brown sugar, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika. I then got the BGE up to 650 and did a very quick sear, about a 1 1/2 on each side, removed and brought the BGE down to 350 dome and cooked inderect for about 2 hours to a temp of 145 removed and rested for 15 mins and was perfect!

After quick sear added some fresh Rosemary...

    Nice work! Lamb roasted is a treat and it looks like you have enough meat there for leftovers too. Have a great day!

    yes it was very tender, and I also convertted 2 people who did not care for lamb, ( mint sauce goes great with lamb) I used the foil on the lower part of the leg (smallest part) as to not over cook it quite so much and seemed to work well
