that looks great. what's the point of dropping smoker temp to 140 the last hour or so?


Thank You Solman!!
Good Question. I used to wrap it in foil & towels and put it in a cooler, when it was to the Temp I wanted, so it would stop cooking & stay warm enough to eat.
Then a few years ago, I started just leaving it in my MES, and turning the heat down to the Internal Temp of my finished meat. Then sometimes I even open the door awhile to get the smoker temp down to that temp fast. This way I don't lose any bark from wrapping it, and the carry-over is usually kept to 0° to 2°.
The meat thinks it's in the cooler, waiting for Supper Time.
It really works Great if you have a smoker, like an MES that you can change the Temp Fast.

Wow Bear....that looks great. I've always been somewhat of a purist with my prime rib and keep seasonings to a minimum...typically just a bit of salt and pepper. Next weekend I will be cooking and serving a 65 day aged Certified Angus Beef prime rib that I'll cook on the rotisserie of the Santa Maria grill. After reading several of your prime rib posts, and accolades about your prime rib from other members, you have me giving serious thought to violating my rules and seasoning it as you have. It just sounds, and looks to good to pass up and with everybody else raving about it I need to give this some deep thought.

Hmmmm.....

Thank You Robert!
Actually I never used much seasonings on Beef:
I used to use a little SPOG on a light coat of Worcestershire "Thick" to hold it on.
Then a Few years ago I cut out the Salt, and Lea & Perrins changed the name from Worcestershire "Thick" to "Lea & Perrins Bold Steak Sauce".
I only put a little of each on, because I don't want to lose the Beef Flavor.
I use those same things on any Beef that goes in my Smoker.
And Thanks for the Like.
