I would be very interested if anyone has experience in smoking lamb. I have a great recipe that I use in slow cookers and low ovens, but I have no idea whether I can also smoke it or how long it will take. Any help out there?

If you liked it in a slow oven,you could cook it low in a smoker.

Lamb,and its traditional seasonings,have their own distinct flavors,so very little smoke is usually used.

Time will depend on size/cut and doneness desired.

Thanks, Tom. I don't want the smoke to outdo the flavor. Maybe lamb isn't the best thing to try the first time. Maybe I'll throw a T-bone on there too! We're actually having a huge cookout at church, and anyone can bring whatever they want. So it's not my smoker.

I've tried it, and loved it.

Mainlydave, how long did you smoke your lamb? It looks like your meat weighed 2.38 lbs.

Sorry, but I don't remember, and don't see it in my notes. I'd guess 2-3 hours, but that's just a guess.

Thanks Dave, we love leg of lamb, and especially garlic. Sounds like I will be picking up a leg this week. After the smoke, I will post my success.

Found a similar recipe to yours. The only difference is it calls for a shot of Dry Vermouth. Booze in any recipe is good. Can't wait to try it. Thanks again!

Hay MainelyDave, thanks for a great recipe. Purchased a 4 lb boneless leg of lamb yesterday at Sams. Varied your paste, and bought a small piece of fresh ginger root for 50 cents. Combined ginger, garlic, 1 tbl of oil, and 1 tbl of dry vermouth, and fresh basil in small processor and made a paste. Incerted cloves of garlic throughout the leg, and applied the paste all over the leg. Smoked in my 008, with apple wood for 3 1/2 hours until it reached an internal temperature of 150 de.
Results is outstanding, and it's a keeper.

Thanks for the report. I'll try your modifications next time.
