💡 Pro Tips

  • Smoke lamb leg at 225-250°F to internal temperature of 203-205°F because collagen fully converts to gelatin at this range, creating the pullable texture you need for wrapping.technique203-205°F internal temp
  • Wrap lamb leg in butcher paper (not foil) when internal temp hits 165°F to prevent over-steaming while maintaining bark texture and preventing the 'pot roast' effect.technique165°F wrap point
  • Rest the smoked lamb for 45-60 minutes after cooking so connective tissues finish breaking down and juices redistribute evenly throughout the meat fibers.timing45-60 minutes
  • Warm tortillas on a dry cast iron skillet for 30-45 seconds per side to activate starches and create flexibility that prevents cracking when wrapping the pulled lamb.equipment30-45 seconds per side
  • Pull lamb along the grain first, then across it in 2-3 inch pieces because this breaks down muscle fibers in both directions for optimal tenderness in each bite.technique2-3 inch pieces
