May the Sauce be with you

Thanks very much guys - the pressure was on with my first recipe recommendation so very relieved you liked it too. 

OK this is based on the traditional Moroccan style of Mechoui Lamb. It's fantastic on lamb leg or shoulder. It makes a good amount of rub.The good thing is it works well as a marinade too you just mix with 50g of butter or olive oil.

2 tablespoons ground coriander

1-2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon salt

Pepper to taste - I put in half teaspoon

If you try it i hope you like it. 

Cheers,

Wayne

Hiya Brinkman

I may be new to smoking but being Australian if there is one thing I do know it's lamb. There are two options really - smoking the whole leg (I have a lovely Moroccan spice rub if you would like) or butterfly the leg and direct grill. For this option you really can't beat a marinade of olive oil and loads of garlic and rosemary. This is my preferred as smoking a leg of lamb can be tricky as it's not a very fatty meat and can dry out.  If you decide to do this you could wrap it early to preserve some moisture. For low and slow lamb I usually go for a lamb shoulder as it's much fattier. 

Hope this helps,

Wayne

The ProQ would be my choice of the two  for the reasons you mentioned but i fully understand the attraction of an offset as I had a couple of them to begin with.

Thanks Wade however I think I have settled on the Callow Smoker as the new model sounds like an improvement - so for under £100 with cover it's fantastic value. It'll be exclusively used for leg/shoulder or lamb, ribs, chicken and medium size pork shoulder which will all fit. Now as it's officially my Christmas present do I buy now or wait and see if somewhere has it reduced during early winter?

P.'s.  Your reviews of the Callow have really helped - cheers

Welcome to the forum. 

Thanks Justin. Any thoughts on the Kentucky for £100 or should I just bite the bullet and buy a Pro Q (sorry for the bad bullet pun) 

Hi everyone, 

Just a quick question about the Landmann Kentucky which is currently on sale at Homebase for £100. I was definitely going to buy one (for low and slow as i have pretty good gas grill already) but after doing a bit of research  I'm confused. Some websites have the Kentucky as recommended but others dont and you guys seem to have modified them to make them work properly. I'm fine to add some heat rope if needed but don't really want to have to do too much. Also I don't really want to spend £250 on a WSM or Pro Q Frontier.  So basically do you think the Kentucky worth it for £100?
