    7 Bone Prime Rib

    I was worried the temp would get too high in the PBC. I called an audible and only lit half the coal basket allowing it to burn over to the other side during the cook. I also hosed the outside of the PBC off every 30 minutes or so to keep the temp down. From what I can tell the temp stayed down...

    7 Bone Prime Rib

    Well, here she is boys! 4.5 hours total cook time. Rested 1.5 in a cooler. 5 minutes in the oven @ 500 before carving. Couldn't have turned out any better! Thanks for all the helpful tips and confidence booster. I can't wait to do another one and start tweaking things. Hope everyone had a...

    7 Bone Prime Rib

    I too was planning on using multiple probes. The plan is one in the center, and one about a quarter of the way from the end just confirm I'm not killing the damn thing by only focusing on the center (which is where I plan on eating from). Best of luck!!!

    7 Bone Prime Rib

    I appreciate the Intel. My gut was telling me that the uniform thickness would be the controlling factor, but after dropping a couple of hundred bucks on meat I got a little paranoid. I'm cooking on a PBC, which turns out is only about 18" across ... a like an amateur I bought a 19" long hunk of...

    7 Bone Prime Rib

    I'm looking to smoke my first prime rib on Christmas eve. Since we are having so many people over I opted for a full 7 bone roast (19 lbs.). My concern is that due to its size it's going to take too long to cook the center to rare and I'll end up over cooking the ends. Would it make more sense...

    7 Bone Prime Rib

    It looks like I'm going to be smoking my first prime rib on Christmas Eve. Since we are having so many people over I went with a full 7 bone roast (19 lbs.). Since it is so large, my concern is that in order to get the middle to rare, the ends will be overcooked. Would it be wise to split the...
