How Long To Cook A Leg Of Lamb In A Smoker
Always use a meat thermometer.
How long to cook a leg of lamb in a smoker. Use a meat thermometer to check. This is to ensure. Remove lamb when done and let stand 10 minutes.
I like to keep the smoker at about 225 deg f for chops and around 250 deg f for the beefier cut of a leg of lamb. At higher than 145 f it gets into medium territory and will begin to slowly dry out. Build your fire at least 1 hour prior to cooking.
Close lid and cook until the lamb s internal temperature is 62 c 145 f. Preheat your bradley smoker to between 105 c and 120 c 220 f and 250 f. Place the lamb in your smoker.
Place the lamb in the bradley smoker and using special blend flavour bisquettes smoke cook until the lamb is medium rare approximately 30 minutes per pound. Cook until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 f on an instant read thermometer about 2 to 3 hours. Rub the mixture all over the lamb and place the meat in the smoker.
Ensure that the last hour the meat has a chance to rest in room temperature. You can drape it loosely with aluminum sheet to keep it. The smoking time will depend largely on the thickness of your cut.
Until your lamb shows a temperature of around 80 c which you can check via a meat thermometer you should not remove it. This takes about 2 hours and the lamb would be medium. Remove the smoked leg of lamb from the smoker or grill when its internal temperature reaches a temperature 5 to 10 degrees under your target done temperature.
