I’m thinking of heavily seasoning with salt and lemon pepper, then chargrilling a crust over open flame before finishing on indirect hickory and cherry chunks.

Any other recommendations?

Not a huge fan of lamb but a good friend of mine would season the crap out of it when he cooked it on his grill he'd sear it first then low and slow using indirect heat.

About midway through he'd use a lot of fresh rosemary to add more flavor and wrap it in foil to let it finish cooking that way so it wouldn't dry out the meat.

Ended up direct flame grilling until it formed a nice charred crust, then foiled it and let slowly cook up to 140° on indirect. Was delicious. Marinaded with olive oil, lemon juice and zest, rosemary, Juice of one orange, minced garlic & splash of worshishire. Patted dry then seasoned with salt and pepper. Enjoyed a bottle of Red Zin and called it a night!

I bought a boneless leg of lamb on sale at Costco a couple of weeks ago. It’s in a cryovac package and the meat has the string netting around it to keep it together. I think I’m just going to put it on the smoker next Sunday at about 300 degrees with some oak wood and standard BBQ rub, and cook it to medium rare in the center.

I will post pics.

Use Cavander’s Greek seasoning on it.

Reverse sous vide. Then microwave for 6 minutes per pound. Add Tony's to taste.

Glad it turned out good for you. It's always nice when it hits the mark and enjoyed by everyone.

Don't listen to this idiot. You always microwave your lamb before reverse sous vide.

Lamb shines when its cooked sous vide and seared.

Sorry you're too short sighted to embrace the concept.

I’ve done leg of lamb 2 ways.

Cubes and kebobed. Marinated Olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, S&P and parsley. Then grilled.

And roasted and sliced. S&P, Rosemary.

I’m a big lamb guy

I get these from Costco fairly often. Sous vide followed by a sear is great for these.

Why temp do you Sous Vide to, and for how long?

I do a bone in a lot and serve with roasted potatoes and baked apples.

I also like the boneless and they don’t take long in the oven. Then the next day I slice thin and warm up in a bit of au jus and make a great sandwich. Some sourdough bread and good mustard, lettuce and fresh ripe tomatoes.

Olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, garlic, Rosemary, salt and pepper. Put that in a blender then marinate your leg of lamb overnight. Put it on the smoker until the internal temp hits 130F. Take it off and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then sear the outside directly over hot coals. Cherry wood smoke goes great with lamb.

This one was 132 for 6 hours. I came home at lunchtime and put it on. It was ready for dinner. Just salt, black pepper, garlic and herbs de Provence.

This thread makes me want to have lamb for dinner tomorrow.
