I tried a "Bearcarver" prime rib after some hit or miss attempts several months back. The results were great. Here is Bearcarver's thread on it. After that, I did several more prime ribs, all were great. I decided to do something special for Christmas dinner with the family and bought a 23-3/4# Choice Rib Roast the day before thanksgiving. I unwrapped it, rinsed it and am letting it age in the refrigerator until 12-23. I will trim and marinade it overnight to be smoked on Christmas eve. Here are a few pics of the process so far.
This is the 1st day, Nov 23rd
This is on 11-27 (5th day in)
This is on 12-1 (9th day in)
This is 12-14 (22 days in)
I did a smaller test run a few weeks back with a variation on Bearcarver's rub. I loved it, we will see how the family likes it. I did learn I prefer hickory over pecan on rib roasts.
More photos to come!
