leg of lamb

Beryl,[p]The answer is "Yes!" If I'm cooking flat, I trim the meat (if need be) to get as uniform thickness as possible, and cook hot (450°+) and direct. Never tried it, but the TRex method might work well here.[p]Rolled I cook indirect around 250°.[p]Both are delicious.[p]Ken

Beryl:[p]Either way will work. I leave mine rolled up in the mesh and season with salt, pepper, oregano, plenty of olive oil, garlic (pierced and inserted as well as topical), and some lemon. It is really better to let marinate covered in the refrigerator for a couple of days.[p]I cook direct at about 350º to an internal of 118º to 120º then pull for a short rest. The rest let the internal temperature rise to just above 125º at the thickest point of the roll. Great served with tezeki sauce.[p]Pictured are eggplant from the garden and Portobello mushrooms with blue cheese using drbbq's recipe.[p]

QBabe:[p]The eggplant is the purple Asian kind simply halved long ways then halved again for ease in handling. They are then drizzled liberally with olive oil and seasoned with your favorite seasoning or something like Lawry's. Prepare and let sit for about twenty minutes prior to grilling. The goal is to cook the eggplant till soft, about fifteen to twenty minutes at 350º with the skin down. Place the eggplant around the perimeter of the cooker avoiding the hot spot.

djm5x9,
I see you left the stems on the mushrooms. Any reason to do it with or without? I've been doing them without and covering the whole cap with a single slice of cheese. Do they make good handles? :-)[p]TNW
The Naked Whiz -
Whiz:[p]They came with a trimmed stem still attached. They were well attached so I left them not wanting to damage the caps. Normally I remove the stems and chop them up for mushroom soup in addition to sliced and whole caps.

Shelby, Leg of lamb is second most cooked on my egg after butts. Left overs are gyros! I love tseze....tzazee....that cucumber and yogurt stuff.

The Other Dave,[p]I don't know anyone who knows how to spell it but it's great with lots of dishes......[p]Woo
[ul][li]that tzazee cucumber yogurt stuff recipe[/ul] -
djm5x9,[p]I found it interesting that you use direct for the lamb. I think it would give a better crust andt taste. I have done mine indirect but shall try direct next time.[p]I thought that you may have a bit of trouble with flare ups doing it direct though. Is this an issue?[p]Regards,
Hugh.

Hugh:[p]Lamb being relatively lean there are no problems with flare-ups.
