Suggestions needed for Prime Rib

[bigarm's smokin]

it goes on sale right before Christmas just about every year. The 3 local grocery stores kind of have a price war with it.

That looks like a good roast Mossy, the next time that I do one, I'm going to smoke it at 200 degrees till the internal temp is around 90 or 100, then deep fry it till med rare.

If your cookin in -10 weather, I'm glad you got your enclosed smoke house. After yesterday in the mid twentys here, I have decided to enclose my smoker too. Seeing your setup was the kick in the butt that I needed.

That is the one thing with a smoker I can not answer; I never can predict what time supper is. Seems ever time I try and plan for a certain time I am off by 2 to 4 hours for internal temp on any chunk of meat. I think I am better off just smoking nad planning on leftovers for the next day !!!

I am using a electric Masterbuilt today to smoke, that way I do not have to freeze my @ss constantly monitoring the temp. Ya, I am cheating !!!

I know what you mean Mossy........it's ready when the temperature probe says it's ready.

Here is the prime rib after 2 hours of smoke just before I tented the pan with foil and turned the smoker up to 190º.

That was the only packet of prime rib injecter and rub we had. If it is a winner we need to order more and have it before X-Mas !!!

You and cowgirl better saddle up and and spur those fillys if you plan on making it in time for supper !!!

At 4 hours the prime rib hit 150º so I pulled it from the smoker and let it sit tented in foil for a 1/2 hour. It continued cooking in its juices and hit 160º. Then I sliced our prime rib cuts.



Well my wife was very happy with the taste (it is very good !!!) so this is the method I will be smoking the two buffalo prime ribs for Christmas supper at the in-laws. I am glad a gave this recipe a test run, now I feel confident that I will not wreck X-Mas. Now just have to order more seasonings !!!

That looks great Marty. You da man.

If you get a chance, try the liquid aujus concentrate from Johnnys fine foods. Its in a little white bottle, about 8 oz I think. I make it up and put it in the smoker for a few hrs, it is wonderful stuff.

 

[cowgirl]

Mmmm, that looks great Mossy!

Terry thanks for the tip on the sauce, sounds good!

Since the first time you mentioned that Au Jus I forgot to tell you, that is what we always keep in the cupboard, good stuff !!! I just have to try smoking the au jus sometime; I think I will for the X-Mas dinner.....

 

[larrymicke]

Thanks! And as MossyMo shows, there is more than one way to smoke a prime rib! So many choices!

 

[smokeys my pet]

Looks great Mossy!!! Have to talk to my friend and see if he can't get me one to try. He works in the restuant biz and may be able to get it cheaper for me.

Again very nice job

Update on the buffalo prime rib for X-mas at the in laws -
24 adults and 5 children under the age of 5 were there for X-mas dinner, 2 hams and the two 9 lb. buffalo prime ribs. At the end of the day there was plenty of ham left but barely enough prime rib scraps to even make a sandwich.

I received nothing but compliments on the prime rib, everyone was quite impressed with how it tasted. Two of the biggest compliments were one from my wifes aunt who said they would be purchasing a smoker after tasting the prime rib and the other was from my wifes uncle who is known as the local "smoke god"; he had so many questions for me on how I made it that I know for a fact he will be purchasing the prime rib injection and rub from Curleys. If anyone is thinking about how to make a prime rib, I highly suggest trying this method.
