GARY’s PRIME RIB AND PORK BUTT
I have been in the mood for Prime Rib for a while, so I pulled one out of the freezer and into the Fridge for a slow thaw. My wife asked me, since I was already going to smoke would I throw on a Pork Butt for one of my Grandsons friends’ family. I said well if I am going to do that I need to do some beans, links and BBQ sauce.

So here we go……

11/10/15      Outside Temp. 49°

6:30 AM ---  Fired up smoker, Pulled Butt out of Fridge   

7:00 AM ---  Prepped Butt, EVOO & My Rub

7:30 AM  --- Smoker at 250°, Put the Butt on

8:30 AM ---  Rendered bacon, added onions and Jalapeño pepper, beans

                        and other seasonings.

9:00 AM  --- Beans on, added another split, still rocking along at 250°

(Note :) added splits as needed to maintain 250 °

1:30 PM ---   Dampened back the heat to 225° put on Prime Rib pulled the

                          beans off.

Maintained 225° till end of smoke

2:00 PM ---  Links on

5:00 PM --- Pork Butt & Links ready

5:30 PM  ---Prime Rib Ready.

I pulled the Butt and got links, beans, sauce, buns and chips ready to deliver.

Prime Rib Rested on the counter for about 20 min.

I picked up several of these $6.99 lb


Bears school of cross cuts


Some L&P Thick and SPOG


Wrapped and back in the fridge till smoke time


Pork Butts $.97 lb


Butt with EVOO and my Rub


Beans waiting on their turn


Butt had been on about an hour and a half before

I put the beans on


Prime Rib out of the fridge and resting quietly

waiting on its turn


You can see all that great flavor dripping down

into the beans


Close up


Prime Rib on, Beans are off


Added the links


I sneaked a shot of the PR


Shot of the Beans after they were smoked and stirred

to blend in all that great dripping flavor


I pulled the Butt and let it rest for a few, Temp was 208º


Another look


Bone slid right out, I did not wrap wanted a heavy bark


Butt pulled, everything ready to wrap and be delivered


And the real star of the smoke




Trimmed the bones out for me later on


And a couple of slices


This is super juicy and tender


This PR was fantastic,  If you have never had Smoked PR you have got to try this

ten times better than oven cooked.

Thanks for Looking

Gary

HO.  LEE.  COW!  Nice work Mr Gary!

Looks like a lot of happy people around your area, and some jealousy here on the net!  The PR looked spot on.  I too trim off the ribs for "later".

I love to cook beans under a butt or brisket like you do.  Makes for a great flavor.

Thanks CB   It was good    Shhhhhh   on the beans or everyone will know.

Pork was a big hit at my grandsons friends house     Probably monday I'll be making some breakfast sausage

for some friends of ours

Oh my. I'd eat that. :drool. I love PR, but the wife has to have everything cooked till its flavor less and dry as cardboard. I couldn't abuse a PR like that....

Gosh that looks good.. Thumbs Up

Hey Thanks guys  and for the points

Gary
 
Gary. It jus' don't no better'n that. The butt was spot on. I'm going to have to get my wife to split the next beans with me and we'll have a showdown. Hers have always been wonderful. The PR looked great. The inside color was awesome and the slices looked excellent. When our new Restaurant Depot is open, or somebody decides to give me a rib roast, I'll try one. I have to look twice before putting that much money in my smoker.

Thanks for all the pics. It was a great learning experience, as usual. :points:
 
Everything looks great Gary!

  That rib roast came out awful purty!  If it tasted as good as it looked, you had some happy eaters at your house.  Been a while since I smoked a rib roast.  I think I've got a couple still in the freezer...might be time to thaw one of them out!  I'm a little stingy with these roasts cuz their so dang expensive!  It's been a while since I've seen any for $6.99 in my neck of the woods.

Nicely done!

Hey Gary

Now just exactly WHY did you have to post this an hour and a half before supper time???????  Gonna have to use up the better part of a roll of paper towel to dry off my keyboard, I'm drooling so much.

The prime rib looks great, but its the butt that really has me going.  You wanted heavy bark, and boy did you get it right!!!!!

And the beans, well..................

All in all a really GREAT smoke.

Thanks Gary

Great job Gary! Love that roast. Back to cooking supper..... cooking crawfish etouffee. Gonna have it over fried catfish.... Oh yeah baby!

I was just complaining to the butcher today that we've had two price drops in butts but all I can do is debone 'em and freeze 'em right now its just to dang hot to make andouille, sausage or tasso. Soon as it cools off enough you'll go back up on the prices. Down now to .89/lb. She told me not to fret, she just ordered for her special stock 800 cases so she'll be able to hold prices for the good customers! Yes, smoking meats does have its advantages.......... She commented that she was outta bacon and andouille.

Great looking smoke!
 
Thank's Brian.      Busy Week ?  I'll bet your ready to fire up that new smoker 

Gary
 
Wow Gary. Another great cook.

Wish I lived closer I would be knocking.
 
 
Thank's Brian.      Busy Week ?  I'll bet your ready to fire up that new smoker 

Gary
Yeah  I just got back today.  Three more trips and I'm done for the year!  Thanks for asking man.

 So was thinking about a brisket... But see a 50% chance of rain for the weekend! Dang it! 

Gary this may be your best smoke yet! You've got three of the four major food groups on the grate!
