    Ham is traditional, but I'm going for prime rib this year.

    Accompany your meat with a twice baked potatoes. We love twice baked with smoked gouda from BGE cookbook.

    Easter is one of the few times of year Costco carries the "rack of pork".  It's a great hunk of easy to cook meat.

    I saw that last Saturday and was wondering about it, hadn't seen it before. Might slip over there and try that. Cook it like a butt? (thinkin' turbo .....)

    Rack of lamb like a butt? Bite your tongue! A thousand times no.
    It's rib eye, only from a lamb.
    Roast it low til 125 (rare)

    S, p, garlic etc.

    That's my plan! Direct at 350-400 until it hits 125-130 internal! Lamb lollipops! The pecan chunks are thrown in just in case the lamb wants to pick up some smoke flavor!

    Rack of lamb with a rosemary and port wine sauce and a beef tenderloin. Roasted shrimp with a remoulade sauce as an appetizer. ;;)

    You can do these a variety of ways.  I did the first few kind of low (around 250F dome) to 145F IT with a wet and dry rub.  Then it occurred to me, there was really no need for the low temp.  I did one last Sunday (again, wet and dry BBQ rub).  I hadn't gotten the egg fully up to temp when I put it in, but I was running short on time...so I started it at 250F, but as quickly as I could, got it up to around 350F, and cooked indirect on the grill until 145IT.  It came out fine...only down side to the higher temp was that a large portion of the fat layer seemed to cook off and just disappear, and what was left of it and the rub got "burnt looking" but doesn't taste burned at all.
