The recipe on dizzy pig bbq's site is M-O-N-E-Y!!!!

    I'll post this in case it helps someone else, too... My wife is squeamish with any meat (even steak) on the rare or even med rare side... So the first rack I pulled off at 140 internal (the upper end of the temp range according to the recipe), and it was fine for me but the second one I put it back on a little longer and took it to 150 and it was still juicy and delicious! (And more to her liking...)

    I marinated these overnight in soy, evoo, and pepper then applied sea salt and dizzy pig red eye express an hour before cooking.

    Hoss,

    I got these New Zealand Frenched Rack of Lamb from Sam's (NZ is supposed to be the mildest tasting of all lamb plus ribs are the least gamey of all the cuts) and highly recommend them. (I think this was about 2 lbs for $14?) My wife won't eat ANYTHING remotely gamey and she loved them. My 3 yr old girl gobbled 2 of them down! They ARE NOT strange tasting---just delicious and juicy. I'd call the texture somewhere between a nice pork loin and prime rib---almost buttery. The fat seared in with the rub is exquisite!

    My only comment would be don't be afraid to cook them to even medium if that's your preference. Our second one was fine at 150, maybe even 155.

    I seared about 60 secs on each side on a regular height cast iron grate at about 600-650. I took them off, closed the dampers and let things settle down for 5-10 mins, put the platesetter in, waited another 5-10 mins for things to hit 350 (top and bottom vents open a little), threw the racks on with this indirect set up and went to 140 on the first rack and 150 on the second one. Let rest about 10 mins.

    Hoss,

    A chef once taught me to buy New Zealand lamb and trim off as much fat as you can, especially that hard fat.

    I've cooked the Dizzy Pig Rack of lamb and non-lamb eaters had seconds.... :woohoo:

    Congrats on the great cook, lamb done right is up there with the best steak in my book. I did some loin chops a week ago and they were fantastic.

    Patti, If you like beef, you'll love a well egged lamb. As someone said earlier, I find it very similar to prime rib.
