Help Needed: lamb spare ribs (not chops)

[Cajun of Arabia]

hi, anyone with experience with lamb spare ribs? i was thinking 2-2-1 or 3-1 or something like that, then read online 10-15min grilling time (which seems ridiculous, even for lamb).

id like to render the fat and get a nice crust... any tips would be most appreciated.

Ive included a pic for reference... this pack has 4 racks.

I have not cooked lamb, but I'd love to learn!

Have not seen that cut, but I think I would cook similar to pork ribs, but with a lamb rub. I might trim some of the fat first. Looks like good eating.

Haven't tried or for that matter seen them available before. I would be surprised if they took as long as a pork rib rack, they can't possibly be the same size and density. With that said where did you find them and please let us know how it went.

Lamb ribs are one of my favorite things to eat. I usually smoke them for 3-4 hours at 250-275 F and then
sear to develop the crust. I've never found the need to wrap, but there wasn't usually a lot of extra meat to
get tender. Seasonings are usually just salt, pepper and a few herbs like rosemary, sage and lavendar
(think herbs de Provence).

Just be careful when searing because the high fat content makes it
very easy to get flare-ups. I've walked away for just a few minutes once and came back to find
the grill engulfed!

Never cooked lamb ribs .... I love to cook lamb chops and leg of lamb. But those are all about direct heat and never get above medium rare (I do the leg of lamb Spiedie style) .... will be interested in this cook.

We live in SW Oklahoma, and have not been able to find lamb except the small selection at WalMart. Then I find out there's a 2 person operation that raises lamb and goats, and sells the meat, less than 2 miles away.

I'll be watching this and similar threads with interest.

See if you can get some lamburger, it makes the best burger.

I'll be getting some lamb burger in the next few days. Been wanting to try a couple of recipes.

We're grilling some lamb loin chops tonight.
