    Prime Rib

    I've done some 4-5 bone ribs that took about 4 hours at 200-225 to get to 130 IT.  It depends on the weight, starting temp, etc.  I always use a smoker for my prime ribs.  Oak, Hickory, cherry - all work.  I've gone 6-7 hours for a 7-bone rib. All I put on my Prime ribs is salt & pepper, maybe...

    Needing a little help on Prime Rib

    Thanks for the education Chef JimmyJ!  I guess I was talking a bout a Beef Tenderloin.  I'll have to go back to my store and see how they marked that cut of meet - maybe they marked it correctly, and I just mentally shortened it.

    Loins and Prime Rib are different cuts as described above.  Loins are smaller usually and cook much faster than prime ribs. Loins are very easy to cook and can be incredibly tender.  I trim my loins to get rid of all the silver skin and membranes, then fold the thin end over so that I get a...
