Leg of Lamb

April 2018 in EggHead Forum

First time and certainly not last time cooking leg of lamb. Picked this one up today at 8.5 pounds. Brushed with a mixture of EVOO and lemon juice, and then added salt, pepper, chopped garlic and rosemary. Smoked over cherry and a little mesquite wood, indirect at 235 until 125 IT, which took a little over 3 hours. Cranked up the heat to 450 and seared for a few minutes on each side, foiled and let it rest for an hour. The results made this cook easily well worth it.

For both size and quality:

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

What size was that leg? I can't seem to find anything locally more than two pounds or so. Is it mutton-size?
