Leg of Lamb in the pit.

[sam3]

I've been wanting to cook a venison hindquarter in my pit. So, I did a little experiment with a leg of lamb.

Here's how it went.

 

Bought a 5.75 lb LOL, light coating of EVOO and a good dusting of rub.

And into the pit

Pulled when we hit an IT of 140.

 

Now let's plate this baby up.

Nice smoke ring and perfectly rare.

Served with Lyonnaise potatoes and corn. Excellent!

 

Thanks for looking!

Potatoes sliced thin, layered with sauteed onion and garlic with some butter poured all over the top. Bake for 50 minutes at 350.

Mmmmmm

Sam, could you post pics of your pit, it looks like a 50 gal drum, and I have one of those laying around, so i wanted to see a pic of it so I can make mine. That looks awesome by the way!:thumb_up:

My wife and I have a tradition of roasting a leg of lamb every new years day, this might be 2014's recipe. I cook to about 160 degrees, more medium rare but still plenty pink. Nice post Sam.

Thanks Bro! I pulled it early knowing the temp would creep up a bit while resting.

It's sooo good when cooked over charcoal!

Probably wont wait til next new years day. My wife and I love lamb and do a big roast a few times a year but surprisingly never did it over charcoal. I do an herb rub of oregano, thyme and a little roesemary with whole garlic cloves buried in throughout the leg and roasted in a pan with some beefstock, potatoes, onions qurtered and carrots. I think once the weather breaks and I can clean up my pit, ones going over coals.
