Winter time & Comfort food - 14lb Ribeye

[lovethemeats]

So I decided to do a Ribeye roast Friday night. Love winter time smoking. Did a light rub on the meat and only let it sit for 8hrs before going to the smoker. My MES30 was like a fridge. Had to cycle the heater on/off to keep the temp up around 60-65. Cold smoked it for about 2 hours before bringing the temp up to 195 and letting it go. Average temp at that set temp would stay around 210. Heres the start of a beautiful thing.

Right now its in my cooler as it got done sooner then I hoped. But not to worry. Letting it rest is good for it.
Later on I pulled it out. Oh it looks good.

This one I took to medium/medium well. Just for certain reasons.



Ends to about 3in in were medium well. Going towards center it became more medium. Dinner was spectacular. Hope everyone enjoys the pics of everything.

Wow, that looks awesome! I have a 21 lb. 10 bone ribeye roast and will be smoking it in my camp chef pellet smoker tomorrow, we want eat about 6. I plan to set my heat at 225 want to bring it to 135-140 internal temp. Does anybody have a good estimate on cook time?

 

[lovethemeats]

Wow. Thats a big piece of meat.
Possibly 5 1/2 to 6 hours on cook time for IT of 135. 15 minutes per pound. I always go with this statement - Its not done till its done. Happy smoking.

Thanks everyone. While I always love eating beef rare. Due to age. I only eat stuff like that once or twice a year. Like the fatties. I eat only 1 a year. Most other times I cook beef to medium to medium well. I want to be able to enjoy the foods I love for a long time and not have health issues from it. I'm sure most would agree.
Thanks again everyone.

Someone had .99¢ pork butts . I was going to get one because it's a $6 to $8 savings usually.
