Then I mixed the herb mixture with grated lemon rind, lemon juice, and Olive Oil and coated the Lamb and then tucked in to bed in the spare fridge for the night and will go on the Kettle tomorrow afternoon.

Here is the Ham that is going to be baked in beer, molasses and mustard powder. First I soak it for at least 2 hrs in Ginger Ale to help draw out the salt.

OK Easter Dinner is finally over and Neighbours have all gone home, I finally have a chance to update the thread.

After a couple hour soak in ginger ale, I washed of the ham and made the Marinade which is a cup of Molasses, a bottle of beer, and 2 tablespoons of Mustard powder. The Marinade is poured over the Ham and sealed up in foil to bake and steam in the goodness for 2.5 hours.

After I got the Ham in I got the Kettle set up to BBQ the Lamb.

Off the Kettle and brought indoors to rest for 45mins, in the mean time enjoyed some smoked Coho Salmon that I caught and smoked last Sept.

Rested and ready to slice, and nice and pink in the middle.

Sorry didn't get any more picks after this point as I was too busy getting dinner on the table, but was enjoyed by all, thanks for looking and for the advice for my first bone in Leg of Lamb, looking forward to doing this again soon.
 
Forgot to mention I threw on somewoody sprigs of Rosemary on the Charcoal for a little extra smoke.
 
Looks great. I have never tried to cook lamb. I will have to soon.
 
I am glad I tried it on the Kettle, have cooked boneless legs of lamb in the Oven, and butterflied on the BBQ, but never a bone in before, definately will do more often.
 
That looks perfect. I would be all about that ham indirect on the smoker (in a pan) too!
 
Everything looks really tasty! I like the looks of your smoked salmon too. Makin' me hungry! :-D
 
Looks good. I'll have to try doing potatoes that way.
 
Although I am new to real BBQ, I have smoked salmon for years as I am a huge fisherman, and Smoked Salmon is my favorite Appy. That batch was done in a dry brine, and smoked on a Big Chief Electric Smoker for 6-8hrs with 3 pans of apple and cherry chips, then glazed with maple sryup.
