    Stood it on edge atop a small wire grate which was resting on a small foil wrapped metal that is 8 x 8. That way while it in theory is indirect it still gets plenty of heat around it. My dome cruised at 300 although I had wanted 275. I used a metal probe to monitor the meat and in 40 minutes the internal temp was 124. At that point I opened the bottom and removed my SmokeWare cap and in no time at all the dome temp had shot to 520 and was climbing. I also removed the probe from the meat for fear of frying the wire! I removed the pan and put the meat directly on the grill to sear. I only let it sear about a minute per side. BTW I used homemade prime rib rub that we like and use only on PR. I'd be glad to give you the recipe if you want it.

    By all means--let's have your rub recipe!

    I have a small roast like that in the freezer and I've forgotten how I cooked the first half of it. Thanks for the info.

    Here you go, Judy!

    RRP’s Prime Rib Rub – Though it’s not really mine!


     I just wish I knew where I got it so as to give proper credit as it is not my formulation! It's terrific on prime rib…with this rub seared on the outside and then the rare tasty meat on the inside!

    This quantity will make enough rub for a 2.5 pound boneless prime rib.

    1 T ground (dry) mustard
    1.5 tea table salt
    0.5 tea paprika
    .25 tea ground allspice
    .25 tea fresh ground pepper
    1 tea granulated onion powder
    0.5 tea garlic powder 


    Mix well!


    Wet prime rib with Worcestershire and apply rub. Because I like more salt I also sprinkle it with coarse Kosher salt as well.

    @RRP, let me run this by you. First, I don't have table salt, so sea salt will do, or even better use all kosher salt, doubled.  Agree?

    For the foiled 8 x 8 metal plate, how about an old aluminum 8 x 8 cake pan turned upside down and covered in foil. About 2" high. 

    I would get the frozen roast out of the freezer shared by my daughter that's in her garage--except the house is being tented for termites this weekend and I can't get in there! Will have to go and get some steaks for dinner instead. I am housing two adult grandchildren, a slobbery Newfoundland, and a cat during the tenting. Actually the last opportunity to "grandsmother" I probably will have!

    Yes on all of the above! BTW about tenting...the only time I have ever seen that practice was in CA and it was a 3 story, block long row of townhouses. I have never seen so much canvas! It obviously took huge cranes to erect that much! I've never seen or even heard of tenting here in the Midwest - is it just a CA thing?

    yes, of course, but I've never seen tenting done here. 

    BTW it dawned on me that you plan to rest that PR directly on the bottom of that foil covered inverted cake pan. I use a small wire grate which allows the heat and air to circulate. Your method may cause the meat to burn.
    I found this old picture of a previous PR cook I did.

    Looks excellent brother RR. Nothing like a good prime rib. It's one of my all time favorites. Excellent job sir. =D>

    you could easily cut that roast into two thick smaller roasts and cook one right and one wrong. dont cut it into steaks, cut it into roasts the short way

    Tenting is fairly common here in FL. I don't think termites do too well in freezing conditions - one good thing about your winters !!!

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.
