My first time smoking a prime rib, my boss had some of my brisket the other day and asked if I would smoke a prime rib for him and his family, of course I obliged. He said he wanted it just like the brisket so I rubbed it down with some olive oil then hit it with salt and pepper and I added just a touch of garlic and herb rub as well to give it a little extra.
Before I get to the pictures, question for the brethren.... I notice after an hour and a half in I wasn’t getting very good color on the meat yet. I was running around 250, I ended up bumping the temp up to 285 and held it there Until the last 15 mins where I went up to 375 to get just a little extra on the outside. 3 hours total pulled at 124 IT. It turned out great looked killer And Man it smelled sooo good!! I think I just wasn’t cooking hot enough for my smoker at the beginning. I know you can cook a little hotter in a larger smoker.
Here’s the porn:
