- If you're using a boneless leg of lamb make sure to open the leg up and rub the spice mixture all over the inside. You'll also want to make sure you tie up or truss boneless legs of lamb using kitchen twine so everything cooks evenly.
- Cook the leg of lamb in a smoker at 200℉ for around 4 hours. When the lamb's internal temperature hits around 142℉ take the lamb out of the smoker. Wrap the leg in foil and let it rest for 20 to 25 minutes before serving.
