<p />What a night.[p]We had plenty of fogged up Nog, wine, homemade mead and some Grand Marnier drinks of various types.[p]Had about 3 pounds of boiled shrimp, pulled pork, ribs, mushrooms, mashed baked potatoes, onion casserole and of course the main course, the prime rib.[p]Did it as a reverse sear even though I had decided not to do it that way because it requires a lot more focus to do it that way, but I was so unfocused when I started I just started it low and slow and went with it.[p]It eded up awesome and everyone seemed to have a blast and enjoyed the food so all in all it was a very Merry Christmas.[p]I hope all of y'all had as good of a time or better and that all of your food was delicous and special!![p]

    Bobby-Q,[p]Looks good, did my second end sear on a prime rib on Christmas Eve (posted below). Wanted to ask, did you have the same problem with the major fire and flashback during the sear.[p]My BOL makes some serious mead and apple wine. I swear he must have a still somewhere in the mountains... good stuff.[p]Scott

    eggor,
    I had some SERIOUS flashback during the sear. The smell of freshly burned arm hair. Nothing like it.[p]The Prime Rib roast that I fixed came out PERFECT. One 8 lb one and another 5 lb one. Couldn't have asked for it to come out better for my first time fixing Prime Rib.

    eggor,
    I didn't have any flashback issues but I have a way of opening the Egg during high temp cooks that has never gotten me a flashback. I crack it an inch or 2 then shut it back real quick and then open it again at regualr pace. I was actually worried about flashback on this one because I didn't have the chance to clean out that Egg and the cook before when I added some lump it turned out to be about 2 cups of dust that got dumped onto fairly small chunks of lump.[p]I had plenty of flare ups when I was turning that monster though, but that was fun.[p]:)

    Bobby-Q,[p]yep, same here, three MAJOR flareups. I ended up using this fork that I made several years ago to flip it, almost wish I had a pitchfork. My BOL just sat there and watched as I was trying to figure out a reasonably safe way to reach in there and flip it. On the final sear I closed the bottom vent and daisey wheel waited 2 minutes. Then proceeded to open the egg, nobody was watching when I actually lifted the dome to retrieve the roast. But they all new it, as the smell of burnt hair began to overide the smell of the Prime rib.LOL[p]Scott

    eggor,
    I actually used my pigtail turner. I had to grab it about 1/2 up the rod to keep it from bending,b utit worked like a charm slinging that meat around.

    Bobby-Q,
    THAT is my type of dinner. Promised my wife I wouldn't intervene to much. We had a big ole pot of navy beans, corn bread.
    I lied to her, now I'm in the dog house, I went and cooked a spiral ham on the egg, perfect of course.
    Just trying to catch up with all the great dinners.[p]Mike
