It's the gift that keeps on giving!  Still have a couple of slices vac-sealed in the fridge... I suspect they won't be there tomorrow! ;D

Well Tony...winter isn't the best time for this, but if you do a prime rib in mid-spring or fall, let me know.  I've cruised 71 a few times as a roundabout way home from bike trips in the Mountain View/Mountain Home area   ;D

No problem, Steven!  I'll let you know when to cruise 71 next time! ;)   Still can't get used to it being "I-49" now!!  Jeez.

Great info.  Are you letting the roast sit to bring up temo or straight from fridge to box? Merry Christmas!

Here's the outcome of the best damn Christmas Dinner I've ever had. Thank You Divot (Tony) for this! Family absolutely LOVED it!

Preparation:
  • Bought ~7.15 lb boneless prime rib (choice cut) from Sam's Club ($71.16 FYI - $9.98/lb)
  • 2 days before cook I seasoned with garlic powder (light), fresh ground sea salt, and fresh ground pepper. Wrapped in Saran and back in fridge
  • 1 day before cook I unwrapped saran wrap, rubbed with EV Olive Oil (EVOO) and added some more salt/pepper and then I got some (Jim Baldridge's 12 oz. Secret Seasoning) for xmas and added a little bit of it on there also. Left unwrapped and placed meat on smoker rack in fridge on cookie sheet for air circulation.
  • Threw into smoker @200 (till 128 IT reached) around 12:30pm for 6pm dinner. About last 2 hours I had smoker running at 225 because I didn't get it into smoker early enough. 11:30am would have been perfect start smoker time.
  • Reverse seared ~6 mins in 500 degree oven after 128 IT reached.
  • Very tender when sliced. Served with Aus Jus dipping sauce and horseradish sauce on side

NICE, TMan!!  Beautiful-looking meal!!  Crazy how really easy it is to make the best prime rib ever, isn't it?

Thanks all. It was SUPER easy to make and I'll definitely be doing it more often. I just wish the meat wasn't $10/lb.   ;)

This method beat any prime rib I've had at restaurants (high and low end). Now maybe what I need to do is invite some neighbors over for a sample. Then, I can offer to cook it for them (when they buy the meat). I'll do whatever it takes to maximize my new addiction here.  :)

A quote from my mother-in-law at dinner was "I normally don't like prime rib, but I really like this prime rib you made. In fact, I think it's the best you've ever smoked in the past year.". FYI, I've owned my SI2 a little over a year now and they've sampled probably 10-15 of my smokes in that time period. This includes Turkey, Chicken, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Salmon, Bacon, etc...

That is high praise for sure. I haven't yet bit the bullet on a prime rib, but have done several sirloin roasts the similar way. One of these days I will spring for one.

I didn't have the right guests for Christmas so I bought the prime rib and saved it for this weekend.  Call it New Year's prime rib.  I figured it would be a great way to start 2016.
