Oh Well, I'm doing better. Up until about 10 years ago I ate Meat & Potatoes, and NO Veggies!!
Thanks!
Need to bring this back to the top. I've now done two using this exact method and it is amaz-z-z-ing!! I've got one rubbed and wrapped right now for supper this evening. Gonna fire up the MES 30 probably around 11am or so.
Thanks Shooter!!!
Gotta love it Bear. As always I love me some prime rib.
Thank You PB !!!
Hey BearCarver, hope you are continuing to mend. I'm going for it this Thanksgiving. Can't find the thick Worcestershire sauce, but not a big deal. Can I marinate for loner than 24hrs, so I can prep the rib on Tuesday and not Wed? Also it is a 7.75lbder, I should focus on IT and not just the time factor right? Going to do Chef Jimmy J's AuJus, so will be on a rack. You don't put any liquid in your's at all according to the recipe. Traeger recommends it so I'm gonna just mix the 2 recipes and see how it comes out. Will post qvies for all to see. Wish me luck. Thanks for the inspiration!
The only thing better about the Worcestershire "Thick" is it doesn't run down the sides of the roast as bad, when you apply it.
I also could not find the thick Worcestershire sauce so I have just used the regular thin stuff, and while I have nothing to compare it to, I think it turns out great. When I'm cooking any meat, I always go for IT because cooking times vary so much. I will ballpark the time just so I know about what time to put it on but usually end up being early or late due to IT. I did one this past weekend and it only took 3.5 hours and I had planned for 5. By supper time it was still warm enough that it didn't need reheating.
Actually I started the smoker at 260° and set it back to 230° when I put the meat in. Because it was such a cold, windy day I don't think it stayed up at 260 for too long, if it ever got there. 230° seemed to be holding quite well. I was shocked at how quickly it went..........sure as heck, the next one will take twice as long. Even more reason to go by IT!

Yours went a little faster than mine because you used 260*, instead of 220* smoker temp----No big deal, but for pink all the way across, I wouldn't go higher than 260*. 260* is fine, but I use 220* to get a little more smoke time.

If you keep on eye on the PR and see that it is cooking "too fast" for your time table, you can usually turn the temp down without hurting it. I've "stalled" several of them in the past by dropping the temp down around 180.

Adjusting the smoker temp up and down between 180* and 260* won't hurt anything, as long as it wasn't injected or temp probed too early.

WRT time tables themselves, bear in mind that you have to take the meat's starting temperature into account when figuring out cook times. When I first ran across Bear's PR threads, it boggled my mind that he smoked his PR for 4 hours or so as mine are done in 2 hours or thereabouts. Turns out that this is largely due to the fact that I let my PR come close to room temp before putting it in the smoker.
Yep yep. And there's definitely nothing wrong with either your methods or your madness :)

Same thing with letting it set out on the counter, however I go directly from fridge to smoker, unless I need to get a pellicle going on something I cured.
Believe it or not, there is usually a method to my madness.

LOL---Thank You Sir!!!

Thanks Jake!!I will be smoking my first prime rib next week and I am definitely using this method !!! I will use Dimitris bloody Mary seasoning instead of worchestershire sauce. Can't wait !!!
Temp probed too early? What gives? I usually stick the probe in when I put the meat in the smoker, and don't move it until it gets close to done. Is this a prime rib thing, or everything

Bacteria only lives on the exposed surface of raw meat. By doing this you are pushing any bacteria on the outside of the meat into the inside of the meat. By letting the outside cook off the bacteria before inserting the probe, you avoid contaminating the inner flesh.
