Ohmigosh, I would love to smoke a whole lamb. I raised sheep years ago and I know for a fact that home grown lamb is a whole lot better than the store bought stuff. Good lamb, cooked correctly, is wonderful! Too many people have had bad lamb that was not cooked well, so it is not very popular. Do not overcook it and do not let it get dried out!
MMMnnnnn, now I am craving a rack of lamb! :-D And P.S. Rosemary and garlic with lamb = Yes! Mint jelly = gross! |
I never smoke them I only spit roast them. I build a small fire in the front and the back of my spit under the thickest parts. I season with sea salt an thats it. .Every half hour the lamb gets a half a bottle of beer. Some people like to rub a lemon over it and greek seasoning etc buy IMHO the meat itself cooked with this method is enough without any of that other nonsense I now use an electric rotisserie as you can see in the first pic below but when I was a kid we turned them by hand. The beer worked like this, 1/2 for the lamb and half for the cook. Was an easy way to get beer when I was kid otherwise we were only allowed to drink wine. GO figure that one.:rolleyes: In the 2nd & 3rd photos below it is how we do it "back home" in Croatia. Over logs.

We do season it lightly with a little salt and pepper and every once in awhile spray it with a salt water solution while cooking. |

They've already got me doing brisket, PP, Chicken, and Apps (ABT's, Spinich Balls, & Burnt Ends)... I know that they are going to ask about the lamb... They did the grilled thing the last couple of years and I think are looking for something a little different.... |
Never done a lamb but have helped cook goats with a buddy of mine who's done it for years. http://www.goatroast.com I'm guessing lambs would be similar. He used to do them whole but has taken to quartering them and cooking them like you would a pork shoulder in a stick burner for the past several years.
