So I'm not smoking this until Sunday, but I guess I like to post during the whole process, and that process started today when I went and bought 7 pounds of prime rib!

First off, huge thanks to Bearcarver for sharing his knowledge and recipes and always being so quick to respond to me and answer my questions.  I was going to do a brisket, but he inspired me to change it to prime rib!

So the butcher only had boneless prime rib, which I am fine with.  I've never purchased one before, so when they brought it out and I saw it, it was love at first sight.  The meat looks amazing!!!


But I suppose at $11.99 a pound it had better!  My only concern is that John's prime rib always has a thick layer of fat on the top that he scores with cross-cuts, and mine seems to be all trimmed up.  I hope that doesn't affect the flavor.  I guess we'll see.  I'll post more pictures tomorrow after I get the rub on it and on Sunday with the finished product.
 
YUM.....now that's a chunk of beef and I was guessing about 10 bucks a pound. So, better bring on your "A" game, as they say, so you can begin the Fathers Day Legendary Prime Rib Smoke tradition. I'm thinking the low & slow route won't affect the quality of the outcome with most of the fat cap removed. I, for one, don't wanna spend 12 bucks a pound for fat. Keep us posted but it looks like a great start to me.....Willie
 
Looks Great from here, Josh!!

No fat cap is cool---No scoring required.

Your Father's Day meal is gonna be Awesome!!!

$11.99 is pretty high----Did they say what it was?---Choice or better I would assume.

Once you see how much you like it, you're gonna have to watch for good sales at the right times, like Christmas week & Thanksgiving, etc.

I never paid more than $6.99, but I watch for sales, like a Hawk!! And I vacuum pack a lot.

Just yell if I left anything out.

Looks awesome turick & following Bear's method..... You'll knock it outta the park ! Good luck & lookin forward to seeing the final product ! Thumbs Up
 
Well, I lied.  The fat cap was on the bottom!  So I went ahead and scored it up, slathered it in A1, and applied the SPOG.  Couldn't find thick Worcestershire sauce anywhere, so after speaking with John, I went with A1. 

Not very exciting, but can't wait to cook it tomorrow!!!

I thought that first pic looked like the bottom of mine after I cut the bones off, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't open my yap.

So now the scored fat side will be up??

Ya, that first picture I took, I just opened the package, snapped a picture, tried not to just start eating it raw like a lion, and closed it back up. Even from the picture you can't see the fat, but it's actually a pretty thick layer. And yes, the plan was to smoke with the fat side up so it could run down the meat. Is that correct?

Yup---Now we're ready to cause severe Drooling across the Country!!

I just got the word---My Son's in a Pool Tourney, and if he keeps winning, my Father's Day Dinner could be moved to Monday, instead of Sunday. Either day's fine with me & Mrs Bear.

Bear, just one question.... Why is your son out playing pool when he should be out catching you some more salmon?!

Hey Josh,

I hope you had enough leftovers for some Steak & Eggs in the morning, and some Sammies after awhile!!!

Ha! Had to go out of town last week for business and I don't think the leftovers lasted one day while I was gone! I'm going to have to do it again just for the leftovers!

P. S. The au jus was a complete waste because the meat tasted so good on its own!
