I've been looking forward to this cook for 2 weeks. I decided to cook in a South American direction. A 7.5 pound leg, lightly cross hatch scored and marinaded in McCormick's Brazilian Steakhouse marinade overnight.
On the Assassin at 250 with a mix of apple and mesquite chunks for smoke. Cooked to an IT of 125 on the smoker and seared for 4 minutes a side on a 500 degree BGE. It came off the sear at about 135 all around and it's resting in my Cambro until my lovely bride comes home.
I'm serving this with chimichurri, green beans, and roasted baby potatoes. More to follow when I slice and serve......hard to wait.

That is a thing of beauty right there. Great eats ahead.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Thanks, Lou!
It's trying my patience now to keep from slicing it. I've been out in the smoke all afternoon and I'm hungry.

Nothing wrong with a chef's sample right now. Gauge the situation but the upsides of a taste test should out-weigh the downside. Besides you can mask the sliced end with foil-slice her's from the other end and you are home-free. And if all the above goes south, you can blame me

I like the way you think, Lou.

I’m thinking there’s got to be a little piece somewhere that looks loose enough to “fall” off.
