I find that lamb, like a good steak, is so much better served medium rare. Smoking of lamb, I think, would allow it to cook too long and bring out a gamier taste than grilling or roasting would. JMHO.

You have a point. The Mediterranean region, which has its share of smoked recipes, usually recommends roasted lamb.

Last year the wife and I ran a side by side comparison with the Thanksgiving turkey. I put one in the (smoke king water)smoker and the other I deep fried.

I used identical preparations on both and they weighed within 1/2 pound of each other.

The results: We liked them both for different reasons. The deep fried had the nice crisp skin, but the smoked had the nice mellow smoke flavor that we both enjoy.

Looks like I am going to have do do another test.

I hate when that happens J/K.
