On the grill

A 1.2–1.5 kg leg takes 1–2.5 hours indirect. Your log is unambiguous: 12 briquettes is enough in warm weather, 20 if you want fire left for a final sear. At 15 you were down to 120 °C before it was done.

Very lean, so pull at 68 °C and give it a long rest. It carries over several degrees after it leaves the grill.

Seasoning
