I'd say cook it at 325-350deg...aiming for a internal of 120-140 depending on how rare you want it. Should take 1 1/2 to 2 hours with a bone it. Now for rubs........here's what I have used before:

Ginger powder - 2 tsp
Cracked peppercorns - 2 tsp
Mild chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Mustard powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric - 1 tsp
White wine vinegar - 3 tbsp
Salt - 3/4 tsp

.......Good Q'ing
 
Nick,

If you have a kettle & rotisserie this recipe from Steven Raichlen is terrific. I rotisseried a leg of lamb this past Sunday & it was delicious.
 
I'll trade ya a chuck roll............oh wait......don't tell Bryon S I'm hocking a chuck roll for a Leg of Lamb LOL

I will preface this by saying I LOVE garlic...lots of garlic especially with lamb. I think they go soooo good together.


I do legs of lamg usually on a rotisserie with a garlic herb rub so I'm not sure this iw the best advice for BBQ'ing a leg of lamb.

consider trying this herb rub that is wonderful on lamb

12 (or more) cloves of Garlic smashed
1 TBSP dried oregano (preferably greek)
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 TBSP dried thyme
2 TBSP Kosher salt
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil

Put all in blender or food proscessor and run until you have a paste

Smear the paste over the leg of lamb.

Let marinate overnight in paste.

Cook over indirect heat to doneness.

this is not low and slow (which can bring good results too0 but this is my favorite way to cook it
 
And Lamb loves me........send it to mmmmeeee.

Haven't cooked one in years and certainly not on the WSM. Are there any suggestions on the temps, cook times, and I like mine fairly rare...like med-rare. What I posted earlier in the thread was just a suggestion based on my experience grilling it...would love to hear what you all think on BBQing it. Good luck and let us know how it goes.....mmm...pictures

nuff said. Thx
 
Okay, rotisserie over the gasser wins this weekend. I'm going to use the rub mentioned earlier in this thread. Now how about a nice sauce for this little leg of lamb.
