Thanks for the info! I might try it this week as I'm on vacation. I just hope I'll find a leg that's not TOO expensive.

Lamb looks delicious. I like the char going on top of the veges and lamb, must have been hot at the top inside the dome. Best of both ways, pan roasted lamb with crispy top as if direct grilled. Lamb is so expensive but I still spring for it on occasion, it's a favorite. Thanks for sharing.

Is that the smoke wood I see on the top grate? If so, when did you transfer it there and why? I'll finally be trying this dish tomorrow. I just hope it turns out half as good as yours look!
Wish me luck!

So, I finally did try to replicate your dish. And it was gooooood! Thanks for the idea.
I used the minion method with 6 lit coals. I banked all the coals on one side and covered the rest in foil. I used the baskets to hold the coals in place instead of putting them inside. It worked a lot better. I've never had that much control over the temperature of the kettle.
I put potatoes, carrots, garlic scapes, garlic cloves cut in 4 and onions.
Added the 4 pounds leg of lamb and herbs (rosemary and oregano), some coarse salt and cracked black pepper.
oregano and rosemary with the leg of lamb (about 4 pounds).
It cooked for a good half hour at 225F, and at 250 for another two hours and then I let it heat up between 250 and 300F for the last hour or so. I took it off the heat around 135F IT.
Ready to eat!
Wait! Where are the potatoes... and carrots... and onions... and...
Hummm, I didn't realise that cooking at that temp wouldn't cook the vegetables enough. I had to leave them in the kettle for a good hour while we were eating the meat. So it kind of turned into a two course meal...
This was my first time trying lamb on the BBQ (had cooked lots of it in the oven before though as it's one of my favorite meats) but it won't be the last.
Thanks deguerre!

Well Cool! The veggies on my cook could have been a little more tender, but we actually liked the slight crunch the carrots still had to them. The potatos were a little firm, and we did have to nuke them a couple minutes while the lamb was resting but we left the carrots as is.
Don't know how I missed this before, but glad I'm seeing it now - great stuff Guerry - and thank for reminding me to eat lamb. I love that stuff but don't always think of it when I'm running through options.
