The simplest way to grill lamb shoulder is the best way to do it. I have yet to find any other method that tastes any better.
I’ve been grilling lamb shoulder like this for years and it always turns out great. So if you’re a fan of lamb, you’ve got to try this recipe!
I selected a lamb shoulder joint over a leg because the shoulder has lines of fat running through it that will melt and lubricate the meat.

The resultant lamb is so tender that the shoulder bone can be pulled clean out, and the meat practically crumbles.

How to Make Grilled Lamb Shoulder Recipe
Prepare your lamb joint for roasting by rubbing it with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your choice of herb.
It is best to cook the lamb shoulder covered with foil; not only does it help keep the lamb moist, but it also prevents the formation of a crust.
Place your shoulder onto the cast iron once your egg is up to temperature.

Grill the lamb shoulder on a hot barbecue for 3-4 minutes on each side until well colored but not burnt. If flames flare up from dripping fat, gently move the lamb away from them.
Place the shoulder onto a baking paper lined with a double layer of foil. Loosely scrunch another double layer of foil over the top of the lamb.

Put the lamb shoulder on the barbecue grill. Close the lid, making sure the air vents are two-thirds closed on the top and bottom. Cook the lamb for 3 hours, at 300˚F.
