Smoked prime rib roast dry aged
« on: November 27, 2017, 11:06:36 PM »
I am already looking forward to trying this when i can next spring. Snowbird, and leave smoker at home.   I smoked my first prime rib over the holidays and it was awesome to be sure!  I bought the dry aging bags and want to dry age a primal prime rib, cut some steaks for grilling and leave a 7 pound rib roast for smoking.  Has anybody done this?how long did it take in the smoker for a roast that size?  My first prime rib took about 4 hours for a 4 pound roast.  Can i assume an hour per pound for dry aged or something similiar in time for a larger piece of meat?  Thanks!

The dry aged will cook faster. Look through the dry age posts for some good detailed info.

Ok. I did. No one really talks about how long a aged 7 pound prime rib will take smoking at 200. Mostly just a discussion on steaks. Looking for guidance when I start. Thanks!

Check out the post on the 73 day dry aged rib roast. It took 2 hours to reach 125. It was absurdly good!

I am thinking the first dry age i do will be somewhere between 21 and 27 days.  So, for planning purposes i should figure that a 7 pound roast should be 130 Internal Temp somewhere between 2 and 4 hours?

That sounds like a reasonable estimate.

For future planning, the 1st 28 days primarily effects the tenderness. After that, the rich beefy flavor starts to intensify. The longer it ages the stronger that rich beefy flavor becomes.

It's going to be great. Good luck & enjoy.

I did a 21 day prime rib, and the tenderness was definitely improved, but there was absolutely no enhancements in flavor as far as I could tell. I would plan on 45 days for flavor, but if you are looking for something by Christmas, get that dry-aging as soon as possible. Every day helps, even if you can't get to 45 days.

Kari is right. Personally, i dont bother ageing anything anymore if I cant go at least 45 days. That is my low water mark. 60 or 70 is even better. However, It is a great learning opportunity to be able to experience the different stages & confirm what some of us have already learned.

I think i will take your advice on a longer dry age time.  During the dry age in a bag, does it matter if the bones are removed before hand?  It would sure be easier to get a seal on the bag without the bones.

If dry ageing with the bones, fold a paper towel & moisten it then ring it out & form it over the tips of the bones. This will ensure the bones don't penetrate the bag & cause a leak.

I had read somewhere to cover the bones up.  I think i will just remove them prior to dry ageing.  Thanks!
