    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Well, don't get me wrong - the sandwiches were great - but I prefer it served conventionally. There were 65-80 people at this party and we went thru 65 lbs of meat. Each and every person (seemed like) came up to me personally and complimented me on the smoked meats. Kinda got my head all...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Just some notes of how I did this smoke for future Prime Rib smokers out there: 1st I want to say thanks to all who gave me great info on how NOT to screw up Prime Rib (ultramag & Tripple B - many thanks!) As, ultramag suggested I smoked the Prime Ribs with a mix of Hickory & Cherry. I used...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    3 hours 45 minutes the temp is up to 130. I had to jump in the shower and the temp came up quick while I was showering & shaving, so I missed pulling them at 125. When I pulled the temp prob, plenty of red/pink juice came out thru the meats temp probe hole - so I should be OK. There just done...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    2 1/2 hours into the smoke and the internal meat temp is 104. These things are coming up quick. Do Prime ribs have a piont at which they plateau? I hope not....

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Well, I did not get up at 5am like I had planned. I finally got the smoke going by 7:00 am. I got scared and cut each 12 lb Prime Rib in half so I have four pieces at approx 6 lbs each. The smoker (Smokin' Tex smoker) is FULL and with 24 lbs of meat it is taking forever to come up to full temp...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    I totaly agree with you on using prime rib for sandwiches - SHOULD NOT BE DONE. However the person I am doing this for says he perferes the texture of the prime rib over top or bottom round or chuck roll. Plus he likes to show off since he is in the commerical food supply industry and gets the...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    I will be picking up the prime ribs Friday evening from the guy who wants me to smoke them. Anyone have any opinions on weather I should cut them in half before smoking? This smoke has me to worried, if they were for me & my family I would not be so concerned. I also wish that I had done at...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Zapper, At what these cost, I just can't do a trial run. Also, if I setup at the place I am serving, how many hours in advance should I get there? See this is the wild card - the smoke could take between 6-14 hours. I won't be using my water smoker for this smoke - I will be using my Smokin'...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Chad & Tripple B, Thanks so much for all the info. I think I am now well armed to carry out my mission. The generator idea, was a quick one with no forethought - I probably shouldn't do that. I have several digital remote themometers so I will monitor closley. I just was trying to figure out a...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Chad, So for a 12 lb Prime rib I should approximate 14 hours (12 lbs x 70 miuntes / 60 = 14 hours) at my smokers highest temp (approx 250-275). If I have to play catch up, then toss it in the oven to maintain the higher temp (of course after the smoking period). Also, I am preparing these at my...

    Two 12 lb Prime Rib (whole Ribeye)

    Chad, Thanks for the info, but I am confused about how you worded "if you want it to look like this after 15 min. loosely tented in foil. " Did you mean to tent it for 15 minutes after you take it off the smoker? Or after 15 minutes of smoking? I am assuming you meant after smoking. Is 1.5...

    Hi - fellow Smoker & new member

    Tim, As of now, I am using the Wusthof kinves for everyday use. They are sharp (don't ask me how I know!). I got the sharpener in and have played with it a little - actually sharpened every knife in the house! It does a great job, espically on the paring knifes I have had forever and a day. It...
