    Dave,
    I've tried a few ways, but the best 3 were my last 3 cooked the way Max does his. I like to score the fat cap and season it up nicely before covering with the extra fat...mmmm good stuff.[p]If you do cover the rib with extray fat, there will be a lot of fat drippings. I find that using a large pan to catch the fat drippings eliminates any chance of having the burnt fat smokey taste. Just make sure you do not set the pan directly on the inverted plate setter, use a couple of firebricks or stones to lift it up about 1/2" or more so the drippings will not burn in the pan. I also add <1/4" of water, just to keep it cool until the fat starts running. The water boils off quicly so the meat won't get mushy.

    Hi Mad max, it's been a while,
    Have you tried your turkey gravy recipe when cooking chickens yet? Either I am just getting better at making the gravy or chicken drippings actually makes a better gravy. We've done this 4 or 5 times since thanksgiving. Usually with 2 or 3 small chickens, not oven stuffers, then follow your turkey gravy recipe.

    egghead2004,
    you know, i haven't yet. . ..no good reason, just don't tend to think about gravy when i'm roasting birds. .. i sure should though. . .glad you enjoy it so much. . .same for the prime rib. ..[p]btw, if you have leftover prime rib, you should whip up some prime rib hash. . .take 2 or 3 large potatoes, cubed up small. ...melt a stick of butter (or two) in a large skillet, throw in the potato and some diced up onion. . .season with salt and pepper. ..cook it till the potatoes start getting tender, then cut up you left over prime rib into small cubes (same size as the tateres. . add the meat, keep cooking till the potatoes are browned. ..makes a great meal. ..i'll be cooking up a big batch of this for waldorf eggfest. . .
