Kinda hard to ask folks to hang on a minute so you can take pics aint it!

I think you need some points. Hard to give em out this weekend cuz we are limited, and there are so very many good lookin smokes this weekend!

I had never done a prime rib before so I always start very simple on something new and then try to improve on that. Everything was prepped the night before, the prime rib I rubbed down with olive oil and coated with a mixture of some boughten steak seasoning along with some garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper and then wrapped and in the frig. I took out of the frig about 30 min before it went on. Kept a very close monitor on the temp, took it to 123 degrees and then took off wrapped in foil and in cooler for 1 hour. Did not check temp again but it was perfect med-rare all the way through. The cut ended up being a little fatty but was very flavorful. Didn't have a lot of smoke flavor but all and all was a big hit.

great lookin smoke. looks like you had a good plan as all seemed to come off and with rest time all be served pretty much at once. great job and great planning!!!!

 

[schultzy]

I did try to have everything planned to be done close. I had a sheet layed out on my bar with times for meat to go on and est time I thought they might be done. Of course the friends all thought this was a little anal, of course until they started eating, lol. I do try to keep close records of everything that I do so next time I can remember especially after having a few.
