Another Bradley Home Run

Saber 4 · December 31, 2013, 05:48:42 PM

Since we don't like to go out on New Year's Eve I decided to pick up one of the standing rib roasts I had been seeing in the stores before Christmas and save it for tonight. Thanks to a package of Tatonka dust I got with my tube smoker and with the inspiration and advice from OldHickory and watchdog56 I smoked a home run for New Year's Eve dinner.

Here it is rubbed up and going into a 220 smoker for 3 hours of hickory and apple

Here it is at an IT of 125 and ready to get FTC'd

After an hour of FTC while the potato's roasted in the SRG, it got a quick trip under the broiler to crisp up the outside

And without further ado, the money shot with some fresh spinach

We ate ourselves silly and it was the best prime rib I've ever had.

Judy and I want to wish all our forum friends a very happy and prosperous smoky new year.

That's perfection right there Saber! Hope you didn't slap yourself silly with your tongue while savoring that prime! Did someone say where's the horseradish?!! :o

I think if you use boiling water in a cake pan or heated paver bricks like the other folks with un-modified smokers use in the cold country you could still crank em out to, but I am blessed to be in Texas for sure, except for the cold smoking.

I did eat myself silly on it, SWMBO asked me if I had remembered the horseradish (of course I had forgotten it) but after I had pulled the au jus out of the FTC package and she got her first bite she forgot all about the horseradish and ate more than I could.

I'm not worried about the smoker, it's me that cant handle the cold... LOL

I can definitely relate to that, that's why I left Michigan and came back home to Texas over 30 years ago.
