Notes
Grilled lamb chops will take 10 minutes for well-done, 8 minutes for medium, and 6 for rare.
To make a two-level fire, spread some of the coals in a single layer over half of the grill. leave the remaining coals in a pile that rises to within 2-2 1/2 inches of the cooking grate.
If your chops flame up, pull them off the heat and calm the fire with a water bottle.
