 #Smoked a whole leg of lamb today. Struggled with the charcoal to maintain a straight 125C but it came out proper amazing.

  where were you, what were you doing and what was your weapon when you first saw it? 
 I was hunting with my sharp wits alone. 
 You are doing the Lord’s work 
 Gracias ser. 😊 
 Slow cooking lamb leg changes everything;

I like to cover/wrap it for the last couple of hours to really break down the connective tissue. 
 This took just under 4 hours total including the blip where the charcoal just wouldn't let any heat out. 
 Charcoal gonna charcoal sometimes.

Don't forget most ovens do low temps better than most smokers.

I've finished many a brisket in the oven.

Can't beat that taste though 🔥 
 Absolutely for brisket. Last one I did 4 hours in the smoker in the evening, overnight in the oven at 100C, then down to 50C for around 6 hours as the resting time. For some reason ended up really dry and not juicy as usual.
