sfdrew28 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I’m about to cook a 5lb Tandoori leg of lamb for about 1.5 hours at 400f using indirect heat. I’m planning to just use one 1/2 of the charcoal box and the drip pan underneath the lamb. Any suggestions on whether to use the top or main grate is appreciated. Also, would I want the grill heat soaked before cooking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm assuming that you've cooked this before at this time/temperature, as it seems very hot and long to me, even if it's a bone-in leg? I'm familiar with tandoori style cooking, but never cooked a whole leg this way. I'd use the main grate and not a lot of heat soaking. Put the meat on as soon as it comes up to temp. To fully heat soak a KK to 400f will take a while and burn up a lot of charcoal. Not sure if it would improve your results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did almost everything opposite of what you said. Lol. I used the upper great in a heat soaked grill. The timing wasn’t too much as it’s a recipe I’ve used before from project smoke. It came out very good. Thank you for replying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 As long as it came out OK, that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
