Leg of lamb?

[rdav01]

Has anyone done a leg of lamb and how long it may take? I may have to hang it not sure if it will fit on the rack???

Usually don't have too much of a problem with toughness - lamb is generally tender - so I've had great success even grilling it.  When I grill one, I like to debone it and cook it flat, opened out, butterflied.  Probably at around 350 to an IT of about 130 for the rare side of medium rare.  140 if you want medium rare.

But I have smoked a whole one also, just takes longer.  I like to make a schmear of olive oil, finely minced garlic, cracked pepper, minced rosemary leaves and some lemon zest.   Schmear that on (rub it in good and into all crevices) then sprinkle with kosher salt.  Put in smoker at 250 - 275 until IT to your desired doneness - see above.  Use wood you like! but a hotter burning and stronger tasting wood does best for me.  I've even used grape vine trimmings. 

BTW - it should be against the law to cook it past medium rare.  Some good eats if you like the taste of lamb.  I do!!!!
