Default Lamb leg.

I need help from any of the ovine experts frequenting this newsgroup.
One of the local butchers has fresh NZ bone-in lamb legs on sale for
$3.29/lb.
I've never smoked a lamb leg before but, at that price, perhaps it's
time to give it a try.
Is it something that lends itself to smoking?
Any recommendations on time, temperature and wood?
I do have a remote reading probe type thermometer that I use on some
cuts of pork & poultry and assume it would work for lamb as well.
As to wood, I have cut and seasoned hickory, oak, maple, mulberry,
apple, peach, plum and cherry. Also a couple of bags of store bought
mesquite chips but, I'm not fond of the flavour they impart.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
