Utilizing the vast resources and professional services of this website I was able to successfully prepare my first ever Prime Rib.

Bear, Gary, and Chef JJ all played a role in today's success. Thank you Gentlemen!

As directed by Bear, it all started the day before when I seasoned the meat and placed it in the fridge overnight.

Today around 1130 I fired up the smoker and pulled the meat to get ready.

Using Gary's expertise with using a wood burning offset I was able to successfully manage my temperature to around 225° with very few spikes to 250°. This is after 3 hours.

Of course once everything was stabilized I figured that since it was a sweltering 43° out that I'd fire up the pit, drink some sauce, and watch the temps.

It was awesome! A 6lb Prime Rib which took 5 hours to smoke to an IT of 130° with a temp between 225° with swings to 250°.

Once again and as always, thank you very much to everyone who is willing to assist others in their smoking success. You have all made me have just a little bit more confidence in our society.
