Notes

smoked lamb shoulder
I smoked lamb shoulder on my UDS smoker and shared the recipe here.
This recipe can be cooked on any smoker. From pellet smoker to off-set smoker.
Follow these steps and you will end up with some tender and juicy thin sliced pork shoulder.
I prefer to season the lamb shoulder the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp garlic (powder or granulated)
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbs Thyme
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tbsp smoked paprika
Smoking
  • Pre-heat smoker to 225°F (107°C)
  • Place lamb shoulder on smoker fat side up.
  • Smoke to an internal temperature of °165F (73°C)
  • Wrap in aluminum foil.
  • Smoke to 203°F (95°C).
  • Remove from smoker.
  • Let rest until internal temperature is 165°F (73°C)
  • Slice thin and serve.
The reason I let it rest to °165F (73°C) is that after slicing it will be cooled to around 145°F (62°C) and this is the temperature I like to serve it on.
