Yes its time for the Spring Lamb again.This weekend in that gorgeous weather I filled the Traeger hopper with Grapewood Pellets and smoked me a boneless leg of Wa. State lamb.I brought it today to work for my employees. I can only eat like 4 oz. per meal. I stuff it with garlic cloves and fresh cut rosemary.Then tie it up and smoked it for 2 hours and cooked for about an hour more.Grapewood is the only way to go for lamb or goat.

Right now QFC has good deals on American leg o lamb.$3.99 a pound .I dont like foreign lamb (mutton) it has a gamier flavor then a good Wa or Or. raised lamb.

What temp would you suggest in the oven? and how long? I cooked lamb once but I pan seared it..deelish.

[racfish]

In the oven I would do it at 350 degrees .Lamb usually isnt eaten rare. Its weird but all my life cooking I dont usually follow the degrees on my smokers. I usually can just tell where I'm at. In the oven 350 is very safe cooking temp.I'll find out for sure but usually I cook till the inner meat is around 150-160 degrees.I'll look it up to be sure.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

When I was a kid the only meat that I wasn't allergic to was sheep. I finally outgrew the allergy when I was 11. To this day I can't gag down mutton in any way, regardless of age of the critter, or method of cooking. To this day if I'm in a restaurant and the waitress/waiter just walks by with a rack of lamb destined for another table, I lose my appetite.

My dad always got a new set of lambs every year and finished them while working his dogs on them then he slaughtered them. I would always be hungry on the days they were having lamb:-& I would stay in my room with the window open all night could not deal with the smell let alone the taste. My now wife's grandfather has a sheep farm here in eastern WY. and they keep giving us lamb#-o My wife sometimes has some while I am at work but we have a freezer full and I DON'T want it My in-laws want me over for lamb on Easter I think I am sick that day:-"

LOL, I grew up with Mutton. Relatives raised the greasy critters and they gave them away and brought the stinking meat to every church social.

I know that it must be better then I remember, like wolverine, my memories from youth control my current actions.

Now to me there is Mutton and then there is Lamb.Lamb for me is similar to Veal.Its a young lamb that hasnt become greasy and smelly.I dont know the actual age of slaughtering but the lamb I buy is very young and tender. Not to greasy.Now the imported lamb from Safeway or Costco is gross .It does have that gamey flavor which like most of us I detest.Goat is another gamey tasting animal.Its edible and not bad but does require a certain pallette to enjoy it.The ram pictured is a cool pic.Driving the Canyon Road along the Yakima River there are herds of Mountain Goats.They really are fun to watch on the steep rock cliffs.
