Method

  1. Preheat smoker to 110ºC. Use Heat Beads® or Lumpwood Charcoal. Soak wood chips in water if using.
  2. Pat lamb dry. Score the lamb 2.5cm deep and insert garlic into each slit.
  3. Add a light coat of olive oil.
  4. Insert rosemary sprigs infrequently into slits.
  5. Sprinkle the lamb generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Place in smoker preheated to 110ºC on centre rack, close smoker. Add wood chips, chunks or logs for added flavour, we recommend adding pohutukawa, apple or cherry wood chunks.
  7. Let smoke for 4-5 hours or until internal temperature is 70ºC (medium).
  8. Remove and let rest 30 minutes.
  9. Slice across the grain to serve.

Note: While resting, your meat should be covered loosely in foil – don't smother the meat. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by 5 – 10 degrees, so allow for this when judging when to remove the lamb from the Ned.
