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 (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=86).

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!

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.

Thanks everyone for checking out my rack! :tape: Oh, how that sounds wrong to say that... but thanks for the compliments!

Nice of you to share that with your family Marty. Knowing how much you like lamb you could have finished that off with a couple of bites and just said no one was at the door!

You done us proud. Sniff.

Thanks for your part in this meal Guerry!

Oh, and BTY, it got my vote too. :thumb::thumb:

And thanks for that too! :becky:

PHENOMINAL!!! Nice choice of rub too.

Thanks Ryan! Your Original rub is so versatile and SO GOOD!

Nice lamb! Bill should be around shortly to give you another award.

Since the demise of Greenleaf BBQ I haven't felt the urge to drive out to your neck of the woods but with all you fantastic cooks lately I think I'm just going to come out and sneak into your backyard and steel something of the egg.
