Signature Smoked Lamb Rack

Smoked lamb rack is the cook that wins over every guest at the table. Frenched racks smoked gently over indirect heat stay blushing pink, tender and juicy inside, with a savoury, herby crust outside and a sticky, sweet finish from warm BBQ sauce. No more dry, overcooked lamb. It's a cracking pick for a weekend cook-up, a dinner party or a big backyard session, and it's easy enough for first-timers on the smoker.

Fire up your smoker to 120–135°C, add a few Natural Smoke cherry chunks, then coat both sides of the racks in The Feedlot Grasslands Rub (a drizzle of EVOO helps it stick). Smoke to 55–57°C internal for medium rare or 60°C for medium, roughly 45–60 minutes, but always cook to temp, not time, so keep a Thermapen ONE handy. Finish with warmed Blues Hog Tennessee Red and slice clean with a Victorinox slicing knife. Want to mix up the rub? Try Lane's The Greek God or Black Dog BBQ Lamb & Veg.

Pit notes

Cook to temp. Pull the racks at 55–57°C for medium-rare or 60°C for medium, not by the clock.

French the racks. Ask your butcher to French them; they look far better on the plate.

Warm sauce finish. The Que Club tip: pour warm barbecue sauce over the racks just before serving.

Ingredients

How to cook it

  1. Light your smoker and bring it up to 120–135°C (250–275°F).

  2. If the racks are quite dry give them a drizzle with some EVOO to help the rub stick. Sprinkle the Feedlot Grasslands Rub over both sides of the racks, ensuring you have an even coating of rub all over.

  3. Place lamb racks in your smoker and cook to an internal temperature of 55–57°C for medium rare or 60°C for medium (blushing). This should take approximately 45-60 minutes, but always cook to temp, not to time!

  4. While the lamb is cooking, warm the sauce gently over medium-low heat.

  5. When your lamb has reached desired doneness, drizzle with the warmed sauce, slice, serve and enjoy!
