Just a couple of racks rubbed with Bad Byron's. Trying something different with these racks. Going to cook them raised direct between 350-400 degrees over a little apple wood.
I'm cooking them at almost midnight. Why? If they flop no one will know except me. Everyone else is asleep.
Will post pics when complete. Thanks for looking.

    Flipping them every 3 minutes to try and prevent scorching.

    Looks tasty. Never tried lamb that I can remember anyway. Must be tender compared to other similar cuts on different animals.

    Lamb is excellent cooked indirect low and slow. This cook is a experiment to see how raised direct works on the lamb. I have already had to drop my temp to 325 to keep from over darkening. Just something I wanted to try to see how it turned out. Thanks for looking my friend.

    @SGH - nice rack my friend.  I'm sorry you had to see what couldn't be unseen - not so nice racks earlier.

    Butt Rub is good stuff.  My buddy down the street is friends with Bad Byron.  He made cutting boards for years, and he made the trophies for many sanctioned events.  Look for the pig board trophies here...he made 'em.  http://www.buttrub.com/tour.html

    Anyway, I love me some rack of lamb.  Those look mighty fine.

    Have you ever cooked them direct? This is honestly the first time that I have tried it. I have cooked literally tons of lamb but always indirect.

    @SGH - I've done them both ways.  That cut does not benefit from a low and slow other than cooking it more evenly and adding smoke.  There's no making it more tender.  Regardless of how it's cooked, it should not be cooked over medium rare or it gets tough and tasteless.  It is a delicate cut.

    Looks excellent, now I'm hungry - thanks for that.

    Thank you brother.
    Here is a shot of it complete. I pulled when the internal hit 123 on the Thermapen. I like my lamb a little rare.
    It's the carnivore in me.

    I always pull my lamb in the 120's. I like it fairly rare. How about you?

    We both like it rare.  Almost burnt on the outside and blue on the in.   That looks perfect.

    Thank you brother. Other than poultry I prefer all meats rare. Even fish.

    Looks great! Direct or raised direct around 400 has been working great for me. I bet you're happy with how they turned out.

    The meat turned out excellent. I cooked it raised direct at gasket level. After about 12 minutes I had to drop the temp from 400 to 325 to avoid scorching. Next time I will load the fire box a little shallower and try 400 again. This should let me run in the 400 arena without issues.
    Thanks for the kind words my friend.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    looks great from here, i always cook lamb direct. years ago when camping everyone would bring hamburgers and hot dogs and i would show up with a lamb leg and toss it right into the camp fire, get the outside burning and roll it out onto a flat rock and slow roast it. really freaked some people out
    :))  it doest get much better than good lamb charred black and blue, so sweet

    Looks great, lamb must be rare IMHO otherwise it gets a little gamey tasting.

    Thank you for both the kind words and compliments my friends.
    @fishlessman‌
    Thank you for the kind words my friend. I just never have liked any meat charred excessively. Not even lamb. I do like a little char but not much. Again thanks to all.
