Going to do it on the green egg Sunday and never done one. Here is my plan:

Debone the leg of lamb and season with Rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper and rub a lemon cut in half over it. I plan to let it sit in the fridge until after church on Sunday a.m., i will probably put it in a roasting rack in a pan so i can catch the drippings.
I have never cooked one, but this roas tis about 5 lbs after deboned, i think 30 minutes a pound at 325 until the internal reaches 150. I want it medium rare and not over cooked, so kind of guessing on the 150 internal.
Anyone ever done one of these, diff. recipes or rubs, suggestions, comments??

I love lamb. Let it rest outside the fridge a bit before putting on the grill. Enjoy!

I always let the meat i am grilling get room temp before putting on the egg. Hope it comes out good, i am just nervous about overcooking the thing

Update us as to how it comes out. I have a green egg and have never put a leg of lamb on it. Kind of interested in trying one myself. Why do you have to debone? I saw a leg at the store and was thinking about buying it.

Don't debone. Meat will stay moist with the bone there

Dont have to debone, i just found some recipe's online that called for deboning, then stuffing garlic where the bone was and tying up with butchers twine. I will also season the inside after stuffing with garlic.
I also debone by boston butts and tie them with twin when i do them cause i prefere sliced as to pulled pork and they dont lose any moisture.
We will see how it turns out.

doing the same, first time as well. i rinsed and patted dry. covered with olive oil, minced garlic, cracked pepper, and rosemary. wrapped in saran wrap. put in the fridge a couple of hours ago.

will take out in the am, season with kosher salt, fire up the egg. sear at 600 a couple of minutes each side. put the plate setter on, let temp drop to 350, go until 135-140ish.

I am thinking that might be too much, I would take out at 120 and let it rest up to 130

I have done a few on the egg most recently last Easter - with and without bone - herbs/spices. Definately need a drip pan. I would also let it come to room temp before cooking and not cook past 130 or so. Let us know how it turns out. Enjoy!
