Are there any Cobb fans out there who have roasted a boned leg of lamb on the Cobb.  I have mislaid my Cobb cook book and am due to roast lamb at a bbq this evening.

Can anyone help with instructions before I poison my friends with ill-cooked meat?

Hi Mel

Cobb book says for 3lb leg of lamb with bone in should take about 1hr 15 mins,turning after 45 mins.That's on the grill cooking skin side down with stock in the moat.Hope this helps.not tried it ourselves.

Thanks to the two of you, useful to know what the book recommends.  It's on now, have put stock in the moat (and some potatoes).  I'll give it a look after an hour and fifteen.  My hunch is to give it about 1hr 30min as it's boned.  I'll report back, if anyone is interested, on how it goes.

Great tip, got to give that a go next.

My cooking on the cobb was a bit variable until I bought an overn thermometer. I did not like the thermometer that came with the cobb as you cannot leave it in the meat whilst it is cooking. The one I bought has a probe (which can be left in the meat) that connects to a digital thermometer that is outside the cobb. All that is required is that you set the temperature that you want the centre of the meat to reach (e.g. 82 C for lamb) & an alarm sounds when it's ready.  searching ebay for "digital oven thermometer" should produce a listing of similar units.
