3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place the lamb in the middle of the grill, over the indirect heat.
Adjust the vents to maintain a grill temperature of 300–350°F, and cook the lamb for approximately two hours, or until ready (145°F internal temperature on a meat thermometer).
Remove the lamb from the grill and cover loosely with foil. Rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
