Prime Rib Curveball?

[smokehawk]

Well a friend of a friend just threw me for one...

I was going to smoke a nice 5lb boneless prime rib for my buddy who hooked me up with a suite ticket to our college rivalry game plus I added another 4lb one for myself.  Last week (while drinking) I volunteered to add a roast for a friend of a friend for Thursday.  Well I just got it and it's a bone in 6lb roast. 

Here's what I normally do:

Nice rub, (coarse kosher salt, oregano, garlic, pepper and flour for crust) and I cook and smoke at 200 in my Bradley digital.  I got the idea from all of you with the IT of 125-130.  Great, works good, have it down and cook time was about 4-5 hours depending on how much I throw in the racks at once.   

My question is how much more time do I need to allow for the bone-in roast?  How much is that going to throw my cook time off? 

Thanks!

It will just take slightly longer; stick to the plan... Probe it dead center of the meat part (like the bones didn't exist) and go by IT as usual.

cool, will do!  I appreciate the advice--no smacking here, just dreaming of a piece about 1/2" thick that pulls apart with almost no effort!

Smokehawk, no smack from you at all.  Hal knows what I'm referring to. ;)

I have known Hal for more years than either of us would care to admit.  One of many things I know for sure about Hal is he has cooked more Prime Rib than all of the rest of us combined.  The boy knows Prime Rib.

I just received a 7 lb boneless Wagyu Prime Rib roast from Snake River Farms and come Xmas time, I'll be looking to Hal for advice on how to properly prepare it.

You're dead-on-track to a great roast!

Only thing is... With a bone-in roast, you usually slice between the bones, so you'll have way thicker slices than 1/2"!
(think COWBOY PORTIONS)

Of course, you can always trim the bones away and slice as required for normal humans    ;D  :o

BUT---The bone-in presentation will make people believe you really did meet some Food Network star (of your mind's choice)...
Heck, I met Elvis.  He cleaned my garage.
Awrighten.

Son, you KNOW you're always welcome at my house any day.  Especially if you bring that gorgeous wife of yours. ;)  Might have some Makers Mark stashed away too.

Well thanks again to both of you!  I really want to get some Snake River farms meat to feed my smoker but lately my extra funds have been diverted towards my other hobby--fireworks.  Still buying meat from Costco.
