Smoking Lamb Chops
We got 4.2 lbs of lamb chops from Costco because they were out of lamb legs. I plan to just try the regular recipe with a little less salt than last time.
Rub is:
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 3 Tbsp sea salt
- 2 Tbsp pepper
- 1.5 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp thyme
- 2 tsp rosemary (from the garden!)
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
Put it all in the food processor then paint it on the lamb, then put it on the smoker at 275℉ (was supposed to be 250℉ but I screwed up) until it hits 160℉.
1510: smoker heating up after some trouble with the GFCI outlets - they were breaking open when the heating element turned on. Not a good sign for the smoker…
1550: on the smoker.
1630: well, they were actually on at 275℉ because of the problems with the smoker. Oops. They’re at 160℉ now so I turned the heat down to 200℉ and am letting them roll for a bit.
1720: took the lamb off. It was fantastic.
