Do you know if its domestic lamb? Reason I ask, the other options would be New Zealand or Australian lamb. If it's domestic, the flavor will be pretty mild and I wouldn't season it much more than salt & pepper...maybe some Montreal Steak Seasoning. The foreign lamb is bred a bit more "lambier" and will take some rub, but I'd steer clear of anything sweet.

Personally, I prefer to grill rack of lamb. If you do smoke it, I'd go hot and fast (275-300) and keep an eye on the internal temp. Anything over 140 (unless you really like well done meat) will tend to dry out the meat.
You could use a Greek type rub on the rack. It turns out nice and tasty. I've use this recipe with success:

Ingredients:Servings: 1/4 cup

2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon thyme

I use it on racks of lamb, leg of lamb, lamb shanks, gyros roast. Very flavorful. Lightly rub with olive oil, add rub, then follow MaxQue's cooking advise.
