Prime rib on the small...The Cook!

I posted a few days ago wondering if I could cook a prime rib on the small egg and feed 12 people. I just wanted to follow up and say thanks for all the feedback in my previous thread and post a few pictures of the cook! My father-in-law had a great 60th birthday with all of his children/grandchildren and the small egg was amazing!

I bought a 19 lb boneless rib roast at sam's club. Here it is with the small...
image

Cut about 7 lbs of hard fat off of it...
image

After cutting off half for another day, I'm estimating that I had about 6-7 lb of meat.

All ready to go...
image

The small looked great on the patio of the cabin we stayed at...
image

Roast was seasoned with salt, pepper, and fresh garlic. Here it is on the small at 250 degrees with Jack Daniels oak for smoke...
image

1.5 hours in...
image

Pulled at 125 to prepare for the sear. Opened the vents up and seared at 550ish for a nice crust...
image

Then made a topping with onions, mushrooms, whiskey, and beef stock (inspired by a beef tenderloin medallions blog entry by @NibbleMeThis‌)...
image

Sliced and ready to serve. It was a bit more done than I expected. Medium in the middle and medium well towards the ends, but the crowd was very pleased and it received many compliments...
image

And here it is plated with some other goodies that were cooked by my brother-in-law on the gas grill...
image

Again, thanks for all the suggestions from my previous thread and I hope you guys enjoyed the walk through. Hope the crappy iPhone photos aren't all sideways like they look right now (first post from my phone).

Thanks!

    Nice job! Im always amazed at what can be cooked on the smalls.
    Plus, it would appear that it travels well too.

    Thanks for the compliments on the cook and table. I'm not much of a wood worker but I wanted to build something with handles for travel. The small is still quite heavy, but my wife and I can move it alright with the table.

    Looks good!

    I'm confused how you got from the first picture to the image of the roast on the grill.  Obviously in the first picture the cut dwarfs your SBGE.   You cut a lot of fat off but did you then roll and tie it?

    Thanks for sharing.  Now I'm hungry...

    @KiterTodd‌

    Based on comments I got on my original thread, I estimated that I would need about 0.5 lb uncooked meat per person (12 people). So, I started with 19 lbs, trimmed 7ish lbs of fat, then cut the remaining roast into two halves, which were each about 6 or 7 lbs.

    Oh, and I did tie the roast to make it a bit more circular.
