Lamb chops tonight!
Haven't done the lamb chops before, but these guys (shoot! Can't figure how to post picture from my phone!) appear to be about an inch and a half. I put some salt and pepper and a blend of seasons I bought in France; oregano, rosemary, salt etc.
Planning on 400 degrees for the egg and am thinking 15-20 minutes should do it. I plan to pull around 130 and hope the rest up to 135-140.
Does this sound good? Any better ideas?

Man, 15 to 20 minutes is way too long for lamb chops. Least to my tastes.

I'd do direct, fairly high heat because I love that crispy burnt lamb on the outside, and cook to about 128 internal - cooking very hot it will rise up another 7 degrees. Should give you a good medium rare. Spice combo sounds perfect. Then mix up some sour cream, whipping cream or yogurt and horseradish with a little (dried is fine) mint, salt and black pepper as a cold sauce.

Doing them tomorrow! I too like to sear a bit and serve somewhat rare in the middle. My cook is like 450, lowered grid, 5 minutes to a side.

Marinading with your spices and a little lemon works too.

Yeah, I actually prefer rare/blue. I'm the guy that eats raw meat when I'm prepping dinner. Lamb can be a little slimy at beef rare temps, so I usually go MR with lamb. But that's mostly with leg.
