I've been trying to cook off of my "To Cook" list which is full of awesome dishes I've seen cooked up by the Brethren. Today I chose to take a cue from brother Moose who in the past was influenced by Deguerre & RedHot and cook some lamb.

I also haven't participated in a Throwdown in a while and there's a "Bone's Gone Wild" throwdown that I thought I could manage to join in on today. If you haven't visited the Throwdown sub-forum before you really should as there's some incredible food being cooked up by the Brethren here.

So today, I started with these ingredients recommended by Moose, Deguerre, and RedHot (in the middle of the prep here):

These are the quantities I used:
1/4 Cup EVOO
1 heaping TBS of fresh thyme, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
zest & juice of 1 lemon
1 TSP sea salt
1/4 TSP fresh ground black pepper

Got these out to cover with the marinade for a few hours:

Then followed Moose's cue & topped with the Rub Co Original:

The Mini Egg was fired up with a couple small chunks of pecan for smoke:

Loaded up the rack for some indirect cooking:

When IT hit around 115 I removed the small pizza stone heat deflector and went direct to get a little crust going:

I was shooting to pull at 140 and apparently took 1 or 2 pics too many (close enough for me):

After a brief rest, sliced and plated:

These were tender, juicy, and delicious!! Great call on the ingredients fellow Brethren! I will definitely be doing this again!

Thanks for looking!
 
I just love those little racks of lamb. :love:

That is beautiful. :hungry:
 
Ohhhhhhhhh! I did those last week and they were GREAT!

Those look awesome!:-D
 
Holy Smokes! John walked over and gave me one of those chops. I just had some family show up so we cut it up in four pieces. Everyone just about dropped over they were so good. The flavors, the smoke...perfection!
Well done and I am saving this thread.
