First Time 2LB Lamb Gigot on WSM.

[TonyUK]

A spur of the moment request smoke for dinner tonight from Mrs TUK. 2LB lamb gigot.
Meat: 2LB lamb gigot. Coated in thin layer of Dijon mustard & KC rub.
Method: Minion.
Fuel: Aussie Heat Beads.
Smoke: Hickory.
Temp: +/- 250*. (Stalled at 135* for about 25 mins). 150* IT.
Time: 3.5 hrs., inc. 20 mins foiled rest.

Having never done lamb in the smoker, I was a bit nervous.

Dialed in at +/- 250*, 2 hrs in.

Just before baste & 3 min sear. (Poor photo).

After resting, & pre-carve.

Post carve. (Very pleased with the smoke ring).

Your plate. Tabouleh, fetta, cucumber salad. Wholemeal pitta bread. Enjoy, & thanks for looking.

Lamb was beautifully moist. But I think I should have taken it off @ 145* IT.

That is awesome Tony, it's been many years since I've had lamb but it's something I'd try again. Thanks for posting it.

Very nice Tony! I love lamb. What is a "Gigot" ?

 

[John Solak]

Very nice looking cook Tony!!! Following your posts my vocabulary is expanding, thats for sure!! Gigot = leg of lamb, I had to look it up.

 

[TonyUK]

Marc. John has answered you query.
This gigot was boneless.
Thanks for all your compliments.

Nice. I always enjoy seeing folks cook less traditional meats. I have smoked/roasted a couple of boneless legs of lamb on my kettle grill with good results.

This is the first time I have ever encountered the term "gigot." Dictionary says it is pronounced ˈji-gət.

 

[Tony R]

Looks great!!! The smoke ring is crazy.

 

[Jerome D.]

Looks like some mighty fine eating Tony! I'm a very big fan of lamb myself, so gigot + smoke ring = awesome.

............This is the first time I have ever encountered the term "gigot." Dictionary says it is pronounced ˈji-gət.

That's right Chris. The first "G" is pronounced as a "J".
There are a lot of meat terms on here I'm not familiar with, & have to look them up.
