Preparing your meat

1. Remove the lamb from the fridge 1 hour before you want to cook it, to let it come up to room temperature.

2. Remove all of the excess fat from the lamb

8. Now fill the rest of the basket with more charcoal, this will catch as the fire spreads across the basket. This method will help maintain temperature throughout the cooking process.
