Xmas Eve Tradition.
I cook up to 14lbs of prime rib roast for the family.
Start the Weber Smokey Joe Smoker using the chimmney starter, (no petroleum products) using the minion method.
Fill watertray with apples water and good lager beer
Stabilize to 250
RUb prime rib with golden brown mustard which helps dry rub stick. Onion, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, paprika, cayanne pepper parsley, coat prime rib with rub.
Leave out while smoker gets to temp.
Place on smoker and add a couple chunks of cherry wood on top of the coals.
Walk away for 3-4 hours. Stick with temp and take off when no greater than 130. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes. Carve and enjoy. You get a nice smoke ring, juicy tasting roast every time.
If you dont have a smoker you can gas grill it at the same temp and use a smoker box or can with wood chips. Adds a whole other dimension.
Happy Holidays!
