Alder wood chips produce a delicately flavored smoke that enhances the
taste of the lamb without overpowering it. Mesquite chips can be used
also. Find wood chips for smoking at hardware or grocery stores. 2
Soak alder wood chips in water 1 to 24 hours. Drain well. 3 Trim fat
from roast. Make 1/2-inch-deep slits into roast; place garlic in
slits. Combine wine and next 4 ingredients in a large zip-top
heavy-duty plastic bag. Add roast; seal bag, and marinate in
refrigerator 8 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove roast from bag,
reserving marinade; set aside. 4 Prepare charcoal fire in meat smoker,
and let burn 15 to 20 minutes. Place alder chips on top of coals.
Place water pan in smoker; add reserved marinade and mint sprigs. Add
hot tap water to fill pan. 5 Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place
rack in smoker. Place roast on rack; insert meat thermometer into
thickest portion of roast. Cover with smoker lid, and cook 3 hours or
until meat thermometer registers 140 deg (rare). Refill water pan with
water, and add additional charcoal to fire as needed. 6 Remove roast
from smoker; let stand 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 12 servings
(serving size: 3 ounces lamb). CALORIES 167 (36% from fat) / PROTEIN
