First time Prime Rib question
« on: November 16, 2017, 07:19:17 PM »
I plan on smoking a prime rib for the first time for the upcoming holidays.  I have a roast that is boneless and a little over 4 pounds.  I will be smoking at 200 degrees until IT hits 128.  How much time should I allow for this roast to be done?  Thanks in advance.

I usually cook mine just a tad hotter and they take +/- 45 minutes a pound.  At 200, I'd think that you would be very close to an hour a pound.

Yes. If you have planned for the time correctly, 200 is a great temp.

My theory is this- say you want to cook a turkey. The recipe calls for 3 hours (180 minutes) at 325 and you want to cook it at 200. You simply take the 325 X 180 = 58,500. You take that number and divide it by 200. 58,500/200=292 minutes, new cooking time. I have done this successfully for years.

Thanks for the temp conversion.  I will have to try that.

I did a roast a few weeks ago at 200o and it was almost exactly 1 hr/lb to an IT of 130of.   I also did a reverse sear for 8 min at 550o.

See DM's recipe for reverse-sear of Prime Rib.  It will be perfect if you follow his guide.

The smoked prime was a huge success!  It took 4 hours and 15 minutes. Did a reverse sear at 500 in the oven.
