Prime Rib - Questions please

[smoking in ft. collins]

I have a 6lb prime rib that I want to smoke today. I want to do it using the method that I use with Tri Tip.

For Tri Tip:
1) Build bed of coals on right side of smoker. Add hickory chunks.
2) Put Meat on left side of smoker.
3) Offset cook with smoke (chiminey is above meat) for about 40 minutes (internal temp is 140).

So what I plan to do is the same but for an hour.

I then plan to finish it up in an oven for the remainder of the time required.

So will this plan work?

Thanks in advance!

I don't see why not, what TEMP do you use in the smoker?

Also, for a 6lber to get to 140 is about 3 hrs total... somewhere in that range.

It runs around 300*. Thanks!
