                                                                                              • Step 2: Glaze the top side of each chop.
                                                                                              • Step 3: Sprinkle the top of each chop with the rub.
                                                                                            • Smoke

                                                                                              Step 1: Set up your smoker for cooking at 220 ℉.
                                                                                              • Step 2: Smoke cook chops until they reach medium-rare (128-130 ℉), about 25-30 minutes.
                                                                                              • Step 3: Rest for 10 minutes under foil before searing.
                                                                                            • Sear

                                                                                              Step 1: Use a griddle, hot pan, hot grill, or broiler to quickly sear the top and bottom sides of the lamb chops.
                                                                                              • Step 2: Finish and serve
                                                                                              • Step 3: Keep warm until serving time. Enjoy!
