Smoking a dry aged beef rib roast for first time.

[Tim Patrick]

Any tips you can offer about smoking dry aged beef - using a Camp Chef Woodwind pellet smoker.

I plan on using a rack over a pan of water to keep the meat moist and the drippings at bay.

Here's some of my Step by Steps on Prime Rib.
Pay special attention to the Smoker Temp I use.

Don't worry about it being Dry Aged---It can still be a Great Prime Rib: :D

I have a little experience with pellet smokers.
#1. If you can go easy on the smoke, when it comes to beef.
#2. if you can Sear and/or char the outside over open wood coals or charcoal, very hot!
#3. Pull at 125* for mid-rare.
#4. Wrap in foil, then bath towel and place in small cooler to rest for at least 30 minutes ... 1hr tops.
JMO...... Always works for me. Good Luck

I like smoking meat and I have done a rib roast that way. However, if you spent the cash to buy a whole dry aged rib roll I would say the best way to do it is to grill it. You can cut it into thick chops and do a reverse sear. Best bang for your buck imo.

Be aware that a dry aged will cook a lot faster than a regular roast.
So keep an eye on it.

Done in an oven sounds good too.

I wouldn't smoke it at all.The Idea of an aged steak is to bring out a unique beefy flavor.Smoking just messes with that in my book.I'd cut the rind off,cut 2.5" steaks and sear on a screaming hot grill over charcoal.Noboundaries just did a thread on cowboy steak ;)

I think you have a solid plan already Tim. Just go by internal temp and not time. As Al pointed out it will cook faster than normal. I don't think you need water in the pan, but might as well put some carrots celery and onion in there while you are at it. That ought to be good!
