Smoking lamb leg

[AgentSmith]

I’m going to be smoking a 2.5kg lamb leg tomorrow with some hickory ( it’s all I have ) in my Weber 55cm mastertouch. Any advice or tips appreciated

I want to know how it turns out. I like the taste of lamb, but it has a greasy aftertaste I do not like. Plus it has a light gamey taste. I like the gamey taste though. Some don’t like it, I do. No advice, just want to know method and results.

This is probably going to be my boldest cook (not cooked anything this big before). I was thinking of snaking in direct Between 110-140C with a pan of apple juice underneath for steam? Cook till the inner meat reaches about 60C the. Wrap it till it reaches 75C?

I’m probably no way near a decent ballpark?!

Smoked lamb is my favorite! And it goes very well with hickory so do not think that another choice of wood would give you better results.
I like to open up the leg and cut it as flat as i can (kinda like when preparing a stuffed pork loin) i drizzle with evoo, coarse salt, pepper, freshly chopped thyme or rosemary, finely minced garlic, and finally get a lemon and zest the entire leg. (It will help tremendously with that gamey taste) roll it up and tie it up with butcher’s twine and go slow and low until it hits your preferred temp. I like to pull it at 140. You can baste it with some butter if it starts to get too dry on the outside. You are in for a treat!

Damn dude that looks 1000 times better than what I did. Think my marinade may have been wrong. Tasted a bit bland for my likening. It was ok for a first time big cook, but not amazing! Took about 3.5hours, I squirted water/apple juice every hour.

Sorry only took one pict.
