Keyword Smoked Leg of Lamb (pulled lamb)
Why should you remove the fat cap? The fat on the lamb doesn't render the best and also contributes to the gamey flavor often associated with lamb. Removing this does have the potential to dry out the meat slightly (thus the injection that's recommended for this recipe) but builds a much better bark and gives this better flavor overall. You can leave the fat cap on if preferred.
