I just joined a while ago, mainly reading and learning but WOW!

That looks good, my mother in law always cooks a prime rib for X-mas, I will be smoking the prime rib this year.

Well done sir!!!!

 

[mirachael]

Wow Al, that looks amazing!!!  Can't what wood did you smoke with? 

My family likes the cow still mooing, I'd have to pull at 120F or get mobbed for ruining a good cut of meat...

 

[SmokinAl]

I used a combination of hickory, oak, & pecan.

 

[chefrob]

great lookin rib.....nicely done!

 

[meyring81]

Wow now that looks tasty. I am with your wife the more rare the better.

 

[darkmoondreamer]

Wow! I have to try this!!  You said: I smoked it at 210, and it took about 3 hours to get to 125. Then I foiled it & set it on the counter. It took another 30 minutes to coast up to 135. Then we sliced it. So you did not cover in foil at all until after you took it out of the smoker? How did the temp coast up to 135 if it was not in the smoker? Sorry, I am a newbie. Thanks, Karen

That's perfect....knock its horns off and give it a wipe.

Karen,I know it sounds hard to believe that the temp would keep rising like that, but it does. I guess the foil keeps the heat in & the outside temp of the meat slowly transfers to the middle. The first time I did this I was amazed. I would have never thought it would work this way either, but it does.

Al I keep going back to this thread just to look at your wife's taters, lol! I wonder if she would share the recipe with me?

 

[SmokinAl]

Absolutely Karen,

Yea I hear you. We have been waiting for months for them to go on sale. I have 3 more in the freezer, and Judy say's they won't go on sale again until Christmas.

 

[jeeplj]

I see you used the bottom rack, did you have water in the pan?

Yes, I always put water in the pan no matter what I'm smoking.

Looks Great Al,

 Love the juices running and pooling in it. That is one great piece of meat you picked up, looked great cut in two and just sitting there.

Has taken me TEN years to get my wife to eat meat with a "little" red in it. for years I have had to cook it almost dry for her... Total opposite of your wife...

 

[SmokinAl]

Thanks Terry!

One thing about prime rib is no matter how you cook it, it's always a treat to eat.

 

[navyjeremy]

Al I know that this is really old but I am getting ready to do a Prime rib for Christmas and I was wondering what you put in your Au Jus?  It would be greatly appreciated.

 

[SmokinAl]

I PM'd you Jeremy!
