The combination of apple wood smoke and fragrant Moroccan spices makes this lamb absolutely sing in your mouth! I use a Traeger smoker, which allows me to keep the temperature constant. It needs at least 6 hours at 225 in order to cook properly, but going for 8 hours will make it much more tender. I used Xylitol for my sweetener, but you can use whatever you like.[wpurp-searchable-recipe] - - leg of lamb (~10 pounds.
