Thanks for the good karma Ron. I'll post an intro in the cattlecaw section. I didn't have prime, but the choice turned out to way better than the prime from Outback steakhouse. It's really an art getting the finishing time down so that the rest of dinner can be finished at the same time the roast is done. I had to rap it in foil and place it in a cooler with towels for about an hour until everything else was done.
But man, this tasted really good. I can't believe I once thought prime rib, or as I know now, standing rib roast cook be made at home. Special thanks to everyone who has posted valuable info here.
