    Just came back to say I FINALLY got around to making this recipe. it turned out REALLY well. I did have it salt brine overnight. First time I enjoyed a lamb leg. Though my mom still didn't like it sadly. Everybody else in my family loved it.
    After dinner, I sliced it up, mixed the cutting board juices into it, and if you squeeze the netting, you get some wonderful salty smoky goodness to incorporate to the inside slices.

    Hello James, before watching your videos I had no interest in the Joetisserie. But after seeing your turkey and now lamb cooks, I am looking to get one. Like you’ve done before, the wireless probe is genius. Conventional wisdom is to place the probe in the thickest portion, but you’ve introduced another method which seams to make great sense. Thank you for the excellent content. Cheers.

    For what it’s worth something, my dad taught me decades ago about the center of a spit put it on your barbecue take a hacksaw, engraver nowadays a hand grinder and just put a mark in the middle of the cooking area. You’ll never have to wonder where piece of meat should go even on the cutting board inside the house.

    Dear James, thanks for all yr great videos. I hv just purchased a KJ Classic III and did my first cooks, I am a beginner. On joetisserie I am going to cook stuffed pork shoulder and are wondering how I can deal with the fat and marinade dropping into the gill and on coals. I think fat touching coals is something I should try to avoid. Should I install deflector plate and drip pan using Joetisserie when cooking porksholder or greek gyros which has a lot of fat dropping
    down? Would be great to get your advise. Greetings from Austria, Harry

    • @SmokingDadBBQ
      @SmokingDadBBQ  Před 2 lety +1

      When fat from the cooking meat drips down on the hot coals, the smoke that forms can contain stuff called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) which isn't ideal. to avoid that yes you can go indirect with your deflectors and a drip pan

    James, I just found this and loved it. I'm a big Kamado Joe fan and have most of the accessories. I really enjoy cooking and just launched my own CZcams channel a month ago. I'm doing it more for a hobby since cooking is my passion. I loved quite a few things about this video. I just picked up today at Costco a boneless leg of lamb. I was trying to decide how I wanted to cook it. I think mostly your way on the Joetisserie. I was thinking Sous vide which is newer style I'm learning. I have lots of ThermoWorks probes and thermometers but with the wires, other than checking so often on the Joetisserie. Now the knife was a cool bonus idea of yours. I see you left the rod in to hold an sliced down. Is the way you recommend to slice the leg of lamb?

    Sir, that looks extremely good. Sadly I only have a Joe Junior so no chance of using a Joe Tisserie. We like lamb a lot in our family but some family members are not so keen on the strong smell. What I do is this: i marinade a leg or shoulder on the bone overnight in the juice of two lemons and an equal quantity of olive oil , plus salt pepper and chopped garlic. Just as if you are making the Greek kleftiko . Then I cook it on the grill at 275 degrees until I get 145 internal temp because we don’t like pink.

    James you legend, great video again. Thanks again! For someone who's lived in Australia (and eaten a lot of lamb from Aus and NZ) and also lived in the U.S. - there is a theory getting around that U.S. lamb can taste 'gamey' also based on what they feed on, type of grass/feed etc etc. I remember one high end restaurant in particular in Manhattan sourced their frankly bloody amazing lamb from farms in Colorado. Just my 0.02 from what I've been told.

    Well James, I tried this recipe as we had a lot of hopes. We typically don't like lamb as it taste like wool. I would not say that it is gamey as I typically like a lot of different game meats like elk, moose or wild duck. Unfortunately, it ended up in the garbage can as my wife and I really didn't like it. The "wool" taste was too strong. Maybe it's the fact that it was Costco lamb from Australia or NZ I think.
    Anyway, the technique is interesting and we will apply it to beef instead! And we really like the Joetisserie. Keep up with the good work you do on this channel!!

      The Traeger is a great grill, its just not for me. I like where my minivan takes me... I don't like the drive itself, that is sort of how cooking on a Traeger makes me feel. I helped my neighbor buy one, and first attempt he made better ribs than me so that is their magic. I have since taken the lead but its more involving... just like in this cook, i LOVE raking the coals around to control where I want to focus the heat. Its not as hard as you think it is, but it is a learning curve. If you can be patient with yourself, and you are excited to try / learn new things I would give it a go

    So I tried to do a leg of lamb today. So bear with me this is my 2nd cook and I don’t have my rotisserie yet. I think I added way too much charcoal, it didn’t get to the ember state properly and I was trying to control the temp to get back down. Anyway smoked too much. Got around 200f but seemed to cook way faster than I thought. Now wrapped in foil and almost both vents closed to just let it cook out for awhile longer. Didn’t quite go to plan but turned out ok. Rookie mistakes. But keep trying 👍

    I gotta say, I'm not overly impressed with what you did to that wonderful piece of meat. Not the joetisserie part- that's spot on and IMHO, the best and only way to cook a boneless lamb roast. But, Gaminess? That's called lamb. If you want something more like beef, look to USA raised lambs as they are more mature at slaughter. Lamb from down under are usually slaughtered earlier for that lamb flavor you call gamey. And, ditch those dried spices. For those that are afraid to tackle lamb for the first time, I understand your trepidation but, lamb deserves more attention. Marinate overnight, use fresh herbs, a good acid whether lemon or red wine, lots of garlic, and olive oil. Or, go to North Africa for ideas- harissa is wonderful. Serve with a fresh hand chopped chimichurri. Nothing bring out the flavors better.

      Good lord. Seriously? US lamb is better than AUS/NZ lamb? And you don't like it because it has flavour? Which you want gone.... OK, you guys over there sure do know your beef, but I'm getting the impression you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to lamb. If you're going to rotisserie it, look towards the Mediterranean (Italy and Greece in particular). Salt and pepper for seasoning, make a mop of white wine, lemons, olive oil and garlic. Use a rosemary branch as your mop. Rotate that over open coals, mopping when the crust is looking a little dry. Don't be fussy with your lamb, it's way more forgiving than beef due to the high fat content. You need to go high on the internal temps with most of the cuts to get the collagen to become gelatine, think cooking ribs. Lamb also loves garlic, cut your cloves into slivers and insert them into the lamb. You guys must be getting sub-par lamb from the Antipodes if you have the opinion that it's sub-par compared to what you get over there.

    Remove the net without cutting it (so you can reuse) and remove ALL the fat. Lamb fat is not like beef fat -it does not enhance flavor but rather makes it worse. When you remove from the net you can also unroll and season the inside. Once done roll back and place in the net. I guarantee you it will taste better once cooked. Lamb breeds with fat tails have tasty fat in that tail other wise lamb fat at any part of the lamb should be completely removed.
