Some good info over here (not so much smoking-specific but marinades, rubs, and temps): http://www.recipetips.com/kitchen-tips/t--1315/cooking-prime-rib.asp

Don't forget to use a drip pan so you can make some Au Jus!

Yeah, nice one, Jerry!

I was gonna say, too, that I haven't done one yet but I've asked about it before, and everyone here said that Cherry wood works great with a PR roast.

Piney That looks gooder an a maf*&^er.....I have always gotten good advice from you...What was your finish temp?

 

[tybo6]

      Its hard to get cherry wood in my part of the country,....Thought I might try apple....

I pull at about 135 but that is rare you could go 139-140 for more of a medium

Here's another one a member did not long ago

Yes, according to the temp chart on the page that I linked to above:

120-125 = Rare

130-135 = Medium Rare

And by my own standards (and from much research -- I've cooked many of these in the oven):

140 = Medium

You really don't want to take a PR any higher than that.

Yes Jerry did one heck of a job on that rib roast too. Now I would just rubb yours with salt, pepper, and some garlic. Then smoke it on some fruit wood if not cheery then apple is great too. Then I would take it to maybe 135° or so for med rare and you'll be more then happy with that. Now if you need to make it more done then that remember that the ends will be more done then the middle. So good luck and don't forget the Qview please.

You're quite welcome, my friend!

Yeah, that would be cool -- maybe we could even get an OK/TX gathering put together!  Now that would be awesome, especially if we could get Pops and Jeff and cowgirl to show up!

  OMG, we would have the best Q on the planet!!!!!
