Whats the lowest temp you cook a prime rib at?

[mrad]

I am plan on throwing a prime rib on tomorrow. I usually smoke them at 225-250 but was considering 190 on the pellet grill to get more smoke and a more even doneness(SP?).

Curios if anyone has tried a Prim Rib at such a low temp???

As long as you don't Injected or punch Garlic Cloves in, 190 will be safe...JJ

Jim,
Why does this make a difference?

Jim,

Because whole, intact muscles are assumed (for the most part) to be sterile. If you puncture the muscle and introduce fluids, or garlic, well, you are also puting in bacteria too.

Got it.
