Tritip and rack of lamb on a BPS drum

Dinner tonight was tritip but wanted to do a practice run with lamb for next weekends family dinner.

Tritip (Choice 2.21lb): Trimmed, marinated for 20 mins in a vacuum tumbler with Head Country marinade. Wiped off marinade, coated with garlic olive oil, jalapeno season salt and lightly with DSSR. Smoked at 250(ish) with applewood until 135*. Brush with compound butter and rest. Rocket sear 2 mins a side, pull and rest 20 mins

Lamb (American, Superior Farms, 2.05lb): Frenched, marinated in white wine, crushed garlic, olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, chopped fresh rosemary. Wiped off marinade and coated with garlic olive oil, jalapeno season salt and lightly with DSSR. Smoked at 250(ish) with applewood until 145*. Rest. Rocket sear 2 mins a side, pull and rest 20 mins

Sorry, started taking pics after the TT had come off the sear. Picking up the action with the lamb before the sear getting flipped at 109*

TT came out fantastic as did the lamb. Both were juicy and tender. Garlic roasted Yukon Gold taters and a tossed salad. The lamb is good to go for next weekend.


Thanks for lookin!

Looks great Scooter! I love lamb chops and those are wonderful

Nice Scooter!

Dang! That looks outstanding!

Scooter, that is some mad skills right there.

great job scooter...how about a flavor review?

Those look perfect Scooter!

Man I wish lamb wasn't so danged expensive around here!

That rack of lamb is outstanding! Great cook, scooter!

The lamb was garlic, rosemary all over with applewood in the background! The jalapeno season salt provided the perfect saltiness and just a tingle of heat but couldn't taste the jap because the garlic and rosemary were dominating for center stage! The jalapeno season salt is my new favorite rub used in tandem with others as the need calls for it. It plays real well with Double Secret.
BP had seasoned his prime rib at Santa Anita with a combo of the jap season salt and LL. Not sure if it was the one with pepper. The primer was fantastic so right there I got it in my mind to use the jap season salt on just about everything!
