    Xmas Prime Rib Question

    Bought a boneless 6.7lb prime rib for Xmas Eve dinner tomorrow. Planning to eat around 5:30-6. But we have church at 3:30. Wondering if I can bring it to around 120 and then wrap in towel, put in cooler. Then "sear" in oven at 500 when we return. Is that the best strategy? Thx!

    Mike, thx again very much. That's very helpful. A few more questions for now, and then I'll leave you alone. :)  - Before you apply your rub, do you wipe the meat with oil or anything else? - Do you mop at all during the smoke? - Do you add chips throughout the whole smoke?  Can't wait to...

    Mike...I like. You wanna share your whole process? Love to hear. If not, I understand. Your bark looks great. Do you usually do a whole brisket or just the flat? Do you measure the meat temp throughout the smoke? When you say 225-250, I'm assuming that's your smoker temp...not the meat's final...

    Thx, Pit4Brains! So, are you happy with the bark you get even in the foiled pan? I have tried that before but didn't get much that way either.

    Thanks everyone for all the valuable input.  I ended up putting the meat back on the smoker. It took about 90 mins for it to get back up to 185-190. I wanted to go to 200ish. But by that time, it needed to be time to eat (with company and all). I was pretty skeptical as to how it would turn out...

    Thx again Mike. I was going off The Smoker King's advice. It's been resting in foil in cooler for about 45 mins. Temp is 170. Should I put back in the smoker?

    Thx, Mike! It took from 7:30-2:15 to get to 185. Have it in a cooler now. Man, that had me panicking how fast it went. It stalled at 170 for about 45 mins. I did lower temp to 215. So timing wise, it's a lot better off than I expected. Bark-wise it was pretty disappointing though. Rubbed a...

    Hey Al, thx so much for answering. I have tried the probe in a few places. I am hoping that it will stall. So, your words provide some comfort. :) Planning on putting it a cooler for a few hours. But that will get me to probably early afternoon. Guess I can re-heat in oven? Would you recommend I...
