Bone in lamb loin (from the back yard), chicken and soup

Grabbed a Katahdin lamb loin from the freezer of a lamb we slaughtered in September. Thawed in the fridge and then heavily salted the fat cap and put it back in the fridge for 24’ish hours. Reverse seared indirect at 250’ish until 100 internal.  Pulled from egg, opened the egg vents until it reached 600F indirect and put back in to crisp the fat. Once 120 Internal, I grilled direct to get better color and it was about 20 seconds too long (got too dark) It still came out fantastic. Paired with a salad and some leftover potato’s.  Going to have to get another two young ones this spring. These things taste fantastic. 
As I was eating, a few chicken parts were put on the egg for lunches.  
After the chicken was done, I put some canned tomatoes on the egg with a little pecan to roast for about 20 mins and made some tomato soup. Sorry no pictures of the tomato’s on the egg.

    Great cook made even better because you managed the butchering yourself. I'm sure it was delicious.

    That lamb loin is incredible.  As good as it gets right there.  Ads above, glad you are humbling us with your cooks again.  Congrats.

    Thanks guys. While the internal temp was spot on, what you can’t tell was the crispness of the fat cap. It was crunchy deliciousness.  
    If you ever have the chance at procuring Katahdin lamb, jump at the chance. It tastes nothing like Costco lamb - and like Costco lamb a lot. Definitely a treat.
