Ok, my wife REALLY loves Prime Rib, but because of my allergies (not to mention the cost) we rarely ever go out for it. So a rib roast has been on my list of things to try for a while now.
After seeing MakDaddy-Bob & Big Poppa's recent posts, I couldn't stand it anymore! I picked this up yesterday from the butcher.
Now I'm a Rib-Roast-Rookie... we're talking serious rib-roast-virginity here. This thing wasn't cheap so I want to be sure I'm doing this right!
Based on the Perfect Prime Rib article that Big Poppa posted, and other posts here in the forum, I plan to smoke this rascal at around 225°-250° until an internal temp of around 128° - 130° to make it a just little more than medium rare.
Here's my first question: How long should I expect this to take... My guess is around 4 hours???
Then I'll let it rest for the 20 minutes or so it will take to get the pit temp up to around
450 - 500 degrees, put it back in for 8 - 10 minutes to give it a nice crust. The equivalent of a reverse sear for a roast.
Does this plan sound about right?
P.S. of course I'll be posting pics...
