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.

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 looking cook Tony!!! Following your posts my vocabulary is expanding, thats for sure!! Gigot = leg of lamb, I had to look it up.
 
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.
 
Looks like some mighty fine eating Tony! I'm a very big fan of lamb myself, so gigot + smoke ring = awesome.

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.
Every day's a schoolday on TVWBB!
