4.5 Pound Bonless leg of Lamb
Grillmagic
Posts: 1,600
It's what for dinner this Saturday, It's bundled in a net and I was thinking of opening it up and smearing is with a paste of rosemary, roasted garlic, Salt, Pepper and EVOO and rubbing it in all over and re tying, overnight in the fridge than cooking it indirect at 375 dome until 125/130 IT. First time cooking a boneless Leg of Lamb on my XL,
Does this sound about right?

Sounds good. If you went direct with all that olive oil (a paste makes it sound like there might be a lot of it), you'd have smoke and potential flaring when you opened the dome. Indirect roasting it is a good call.
If it is just a little olive oil, then direct should be good too, and maybe a little quicker. You also get some more well-done edges, for the heathens who like lamb well done, when you go direct.

I would smear the paste on just an hour before cooking. Rosemary and garlic are formidable flavors. If you have folks who like it more well done than the others, I would cut the leg into the major muscles (should be three) and cook them separately to slightly different temps. If everyone likes it medium rare, retie it.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Don't have any pictures of the cook. This was a 3.9 lb boneless leg of lamb from Costco I did last week at a demo. I butterflied it down so that it was no thicker than a couple of inches. EVOO, lots of crushed garlic, Dizzy Pig Mediterraenish and rosemary. Into the fridge overnight. Cooked it indirect until the internal temp was 150. Sliced thin, and piled onto nan bread with chopped onion and tzatziki sauce. First lamb I had ever done. It was dang good!Spartanburg, SC - 1 Large, 1 Small, 1 MiniMax and a Mini.
