[TexasJoeSmokin]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wanted to document this years Prime Rib prep and process.

Started with a 6.8# Bone in Prime Prime Rib. Added fresh Thyme and Rosemary from Garden to the roast between Ribs and Roast.

Dream Theater... 6:00 on Christmas Morning.... remove from Fridge to acclimate to room temp.

Set Auber Temp Controller for analog Model #1 to 180F for 2 hour smoke. Then ramp temp to 225F until internal temp reaches 130F for Medium Rare. (we like it this way)

Chef IQ temp thermometer in use in addition to Auber Temp Controller.

Open Door when target temp reached, letting heat out. Shut door when ambient temp in Model #1 reaches 140F and wait. Watch temp to ensure it does not climb. Time to work on sides and help around Kitchen.

Dinner time is near so Time to reverse Sear. Put small pan directly under Prime Rib Roast and get heat cranking to 500F.

Close Lid and about 8 minutes and you can see the searing on the roast... NICE!

Let it rest during first and second courses of dinner.... then slice and plate.
