First smoke Prime Rib - Christmas success

[catavalon21]

Nervous to do first smoked PR for Christmas, but consensus here is - it's not hard. Just over eleven pounds of bone-in PR, seasonings, and smoked lightly with red oak and pecan, it turned out amazing. Smoked from 225 to 250, pulled at 144 right at the 4 hour mark (meant to pull a couple degrees earlier but got distracted), rested a bit, and it turned out great. Thanks to many other whose prior posts convinced me to go for it!

It was a huge hit. This is a keeper. Used mama's favorite rub on this one, will try your suggestion on a future smoke.
