The simple approach is normally my go-to - in any kind of situation. Might try the dry brining thing as I've never done that with a rib roast before, and I've been cooking these every year for probably a couple decades, so mixing it up a little bit sounds interesting to me.
btw - speaking of dry brining - Harvest Brine on rack of pork last weekend...

Fark that was good! Wow! Like wow wow!

Just hit the outside with a little sage and garlic powder, a little black pepper - great result!
Thanks John - love yer salts btw! Doing leg of lamb this weekend with yer lamb rub & looking forward to it.
