Had a 3 bone rib roast and a 2 bone. Wanted to try something a little different than I normally do.
I did my normal 36ish hour dry brine then seasoned it before putting them on

I have never ran my Pecos under 250. It likes it there so that's what I normally do. So my experiment was that I heard an interview once where they said a little dirty smoke in the beginning on a big piece of meat isn't a bad thing. So I wanted to try running the Pecos at 200 and a little dirty smoke for the first hour. After the first hour I brought it up to 250 where it stayed for the rest of the cook.
A few hours in

After a few more hours it came up to 115 IT so I pulled to let them rest a little while. I threw in a few more logs to get a good firewhen the fire was ready I put them on for a sear.

After the sear and final rest.

I think the first hour and a little dirty smoke brought a lot of nice smoky flavor. Will definitely do it again
Thanks for staying with the long read
 
Man that's done exactly how I like it!! I agree with the heavier smoke on the bigger pieces of meat not being an issue for awhile.

Looks good to me, but not how my wife will eat it, not even the crusty cooked through ends.

I'd hardly call that "well done". just saying
If you're gonna cook prime rib to well done no use cooking prime rib at all. That is a perfectly cooked prime rib!

I have a few who don't care for it pink at all so had to get a little more done than I prefer on a few slices

Viola...... looks very good....
 
At $6.99 per pound prime rib is less money than many cuts. I even used a piece in the beef barley soup I made on Christmas Day. Shank is about the same price.
Maybe I should buy you a cooler or two if you can buy it for that price and have you deliver on your way back home!
