Eight lamb loin chops cooked direct on the Woo with some pecan chips for a little smoke:
Flipped:
Finishing up with the bone side down:
While the chops rested I put on some zucchini that had been soaked in balsamic vinegar:
Topped with a little cheese:
It was a nice meal. Thanks for looking!

Those are some beautiful looking chops. Great pictures. From a guy who rarely cooks lamb...hell hardly never...only once or twice...what is the ideal IT temp for lamb chops?135? 140? I need to try lamb more, its just usually way more expensive and to be honest I'm a bit nervous of screwing it up.

@griffin - Lamb chops are great and cook like steak.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

@griffin, I aim to pull them off at 130 for med rare. Depending on your preference for doneness your "ideal" temp could vary a little either direction.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

I discovered those loin chops a few years ago. They cook fast, but they're easy as long as you don't overcook them. Delicious, and yours look great!

The zucchini also looks great. I'd never heard of soaking them in balsamic vinegar. Does it impart a little bit of a tart taste?
XL BGE -
I don't really consider it tart but it does have a mild balsamic vinegar flavor which I really like.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
the marinade on those chops is tantalizing
