5 1/4 lb prime rib roast

[stuper01]

Well, gonna try a prime rib roast tomorrow... plans are to rub it tonight, and then go at it tomorrow...

Can you guys give input on cooking times and temps?

Don't want to mess up this expensive piece of meat.....

I go at 200 F or 225 F until IT of 125. Then foil and rest. Should be perfect medium rare. You could put a crust on after rest on the grill or in a really hot oven, but I don't think that is necessary. Depends on the meat, but usually 3-4 hours in the Bradley. I smoke for 3 with oak or apple.

You'll get lots of advice but there is no better way to cook prime rib than the one described here on seriouseats.com. Period.

I cook a 5-1/2 lb prime rib roast for 4 hrs at 200 and 3-1/2 hrs at 175. (or until your desired doneness) The Bradley smoker works great for this "IF" you have a PID that can hold the temps steady.

I make all my rib roasts this way and have never been disappointed.

Thanks everyone for the input... I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Nice looking roast. What I do is cut the bones off before I cook it and then tie them back on when cooking. It saves having to cut them off when it's done and lose all the juices.

Can't talk..... meat too good..

Nice job!

Great job stupor! I'll take a slice of that!

Looks great, nicely done!  Did you smoke it at all?  My personal belief is that beef is one of the best meats done in the Bradley, even without a PID.  Low and slow seems to work well with all cuts of beef for smoking.
