What can you guys tell me about cooking lamb? I’m not talking lamb chops, more like leg of lamb or any other larger cut. I’m thinking to cook it like a low and slow brisket maybe around 225-250. But I’ve never cooked one before so feel free to clue me in with whatever you got. Cook temps and time, done temp, seasonings, cooking methods, whatever you feel like sharing, including pics.

Re: Lamb
I smoked leg of lamb once...I intended for it to come out medium but lost track of time and it came out well done. It left an odor that I didn't like, so I was glad I didn't smoke it with anything else. I have no desire to ever try it again.

Re: Lamb
I've cooked lamb on the grill and in the oven. I treat it like a piece of lean beef in that - either keep it below 145 or braise it and get it really well cooked. Personally I sear the outside all over in a skillet, then cover with softened butter, salt, pepper, maybe a few red pepper flakes and then fresh rosemary. I shoot for 125-35 IT. Ensures the outside or the smaller bits aren't cooked well done.
Lamb is best compared to venison if you have any experience with that, and in fact I drop venison into lamb recipes without issue commonly.
