For Christmas dinner we were at the in laws for dinner. My mother in law made a wonderful seafood paella. It was loaded with prawns, scallops, clams, and chicken thighs. So we didn't need to cook anything for Christmas. I did take advantage of the sales going on for Rib roasts. Safeway had them on sale for $4.99/pound (limit 1) or $5.99/pound all you wanted. So I got one super cheap and another to put in the freezer. Christmas eve I started marinating the roast. I got out one of the big 2 gallon vac pac bags and put the roast in it with Dale's. Sucked er down and into the fridge.
Friday afternoon I fired up the 14.5" WSM with KBB and Cherry wood for smoke. Lit the briquettes with the propane torch. Set the PartyQ to 285°. Took it about 35 minutes to ramp up to temp. While that was going on I seasoned the roast with POG (left out the salt as the marinade has enough sodium in it.
Picked up the Inkbird instant read therm. Not that I need one but I like the idea of a rechargeable unit. Works fine and seems to be accurate.
The roast took about 2.5-3 hours (wasn't really paying attention!) Pulled it at 130° and let it rest 30 minutes prior to slicing. Didn't get a plated shot but it was tasty! Served with roasted veggies and Extra Hot Beaver Horseradish.
Wife made a stunning toasted hazelnut crust cranberry tart for desert. It was yummy!
