Our cook came out great and we're lamb converts.

Lamb is easy and great tasting as long as you don't over cook it and keep it from cooking in it's own fat. Grilling is how we do it and if you oven cook it cook it raised up so the fat drips off. Evoo ,garlic and some rosemary and you'll be in heaven. Let the lamb speak for itself. Last week there were tons of posts about it.

There is a custom Google search at the bottom of the page. Do a search for lamb and look for some of Smokin's Aussie's posts. He is our resident lamb master.

I could have misunderstood so i apologize if i ask this and its been answered or i was to vague in my question anyone try smoking lamb.

Skidder · 02-07-2011, 07:46 AM

I'm sure you can but just don't over cook it. I myself wouldn't I would grill it. Also it depends on what cut your cooking. Leg of lamb is great on the grill and chops too. Shank I would braise. I only grill it cause we like just the lamb flavor without the smoke taste. Up to you but I'm sure someone will help ya with the smoking part.

If you like something it will be even better on the BBQ.

We try to do a whole lamb every year around Easter. Just over the fire, a little smoky.

I have tried to smoke it but, havent yet had good results. ITs OK but with the complexity of the lamb flavors alng with the smoke flavor, just seems like too much.

Lamb over a wood fire is just fantastic.

I just spit coffee all over my keyboard i wasnt prepared for that thing to be looking at me with the whiskers poking out at me. Enough said we will leave the smoking to pork and beef.

lamb is great! i've cooked it a few times now and posted a couple threads on here with it.

you should try it!

Chef Jim · 02-07-2011, 12:41 PM

You need to smoke lamb similar to beef. It is best med rare.

Cook up a good one and you might be invited to join the " Aussie Lamb Farkers"

Yep, that's what I do. Smoke boneless leg just like it was prime rib, but take it to a little higher internal temp. for medium rare. (I tke prime rib
to the rare end of medium rare) Did the same with a crown roast and
it, too, was great. Lamb's a favorite.

Capozzoli · 02-07-2011, 07:04 PM

Whats scary about those pics? They make my mouth water.

Americans are so detached from their food.

You haven't lived till you crack open a lambs head and scoop out a mouth full of brains.

I always kill it and cook it first of coarse.

Smokin Mike · 02-07-2011, 09:52 PM

Capozzoli

that's enough.

costco has some great lamb chops, easy pleasy, just grill them with some salt and pepper. just do not overcook them, rare to medium rare at most,, anything more it's going to taste bad.

BlueHowler · 02-07-2011, 10:05 PM

Take a boneless leg of lamb then cut a pocket in the thick part so you can stuff it.

The stuffing is a pound of bacon and several handfuls of Italian parsley, four or more garlic cloves, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Puree this mix with evoo until it becomes a paste then stuff in side the pocket you made.

Whatever stuffing does not fit inside the pocket rub on the outside of the leg then use your preferred cooking method until medium rare.

I've smoked, grilled, and used a rotisserie to make this leg of lamb and it always turns out great.

They definitely love their lamb and horse here in Kazakhstan. The honored guest gets the Boiled head here and has to give out the various parts. Ear's usually to children so they listen better. Tongue to the women so they know when to speak. Brains to elder's. Eyes usually to honored guests, cant tell you how many I have had to endure. The favorite way to eat lamb here is a dish called "Beshbarmak" which is basically boiled lamb with onions, potatoes and pasta type noodle, (think of Lasagna but made with dough not egg noodles).
