[smokerookie]

i have a 9lb whole ribeye should i rub or stuff with herbs and garlic any suggestions on how long to smoke and also i was marinating some chickens can i rub or will just the marinade suffice thanks 4 any tips

On the ribeye, rub and stuff. The degree of doneness is a personal preference but must be determined by internal temp. For me 120o for medium rare, 135o for medium, and 145o medium well. Cooking at 250o your looking at 4-6 hours most likely. The chicken, rub or marinate both work well. Cook hot(300o)for crispy skin and an internal temp of at least 165o but personally I take it up to 180o

You can do both on the ribeye. Taste is the personal choice in seasoning your meats.

Chickens, I always add a rub after brining. Then sprits once per hours during smokin. Take my chickens to 170* and the skiin is pretty crispy using my particular spritz. Good luck on the smoke.

Here is the spritz I use, feel free to use it if ya like:

Smokin Spritz

8 oz Apple Cider
6 oz Water
4 oz Whiskey
2 oz Cider Vinegar

This also gives your meat a nice sheen. I smoke my poultry at 225* - 250*. You can also pull them a bit early and place in an oven at around 325* do crisp up the skin.

I agree with Icruzen on the internal temps on the ribeye. I always brine the birds before a smoke, rub, then I put them on the lowest rack and smoke at 300+ for crispy skin. Low and slow will give you tasy chicken with rubbery skin.

I have not done a Prime yet myself but have read some great threads on the subject. Just do a search for "Prime Rib". Lot's of good info.

We had some wonderful smoked Prime Rib at a place called McGuires Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL. http://www.mcguiresirishpub.com/

All I can say is the Prime was UNBELIEVABLE. I've been waiting to try it. When I cook Prime Rib in the oven, I rub with Soy, Garlic, and Rosemary. It turns out great, but I bet it'd be even more incredible smoked!

LET US KNOW how it turns out!

I'd give that baby a nice searing on the grill before going in the smoke
