Rib roast on the SM grill

[LordRiffenstein]

We FINALLY had a glimpse of spring weather yesterday and as it was Labor Day, I had time to have some fun around the Santa Maria grill.
A while ago I picked up this 3-bone rib roast from our local pig farm. Thawed it on Sunday and dry-brined it for +48 hours with SPG.
Fired up the Santa Maria using my Grill Gun which adds to the fun.
Smoked the roast low and slow using a cover to catch some of the smoke and get a more even cook
I added a small split of apple wood on top of the oak/beech that I was burning down.
It took a little over 2 hours and it came out way better than expected.
Will def have to get another roast like this.

Its center cut bone in pork chop, not Beef Rib roast. I hate when they label pork cuts to sound more like beef to add a higher price tag.

Looks great. Those are excellent cooked to internal of about 145* and rested.

I agree, but there no way that IT 145. Maybe IT 155. Or it was a very "pale" muscle to start with. I personally prefer the "dark meat" muscles on the pig.

I agree with with liking dark meat better. That said the white meat on hog like loin is best with a final internal at 145-150* that will leave it juicy and not that typical dry meat that is hard to eat. Actually all pork is ready to eat at IT of 145* per the USDA.

I love that rig!

Fellas! IT is a personal preference! No need to comment of that. It's a bloody good result in my books! You do it the way you like!

Cheers!
