My brother bought two prime ribs. He didn't know the weight, I figure the smaller one is ~7 lbs and the bigger one is ~18 lbs. the smaller one is a prime and the bigger one is a choice cut. He dry brined with kosher salt, garlic salt, and garlic cubes before he brought it over to my house yesterday. I kept it uncovered in the fridge til about 8:30 this morning. Cleaned out the ash, topped off lump and let it stabalize around 225. S/P, paprika, brown sugar, 6 pepper seasoning rub and on the egg at about 10:00. Hopefully will be eating at 4:00-4:30.

    Internal temp is already at 108. Egg is steady at 226. It seems to be getting up to temp pretty quickly. I will check with thermapen when temp hits 120.

    It only took 3:10 to cook. That seems really fast. Did I do something wrong? I figure I will let it rest 10-15 mins then FTC for a few hours before we eat. I also have a warming drawer. Would it be better if I put in there?

    Calibrated indications are the reality.  Best to deal with as you have and go with "It's done."   Once the length of the roast (or hot-dog, a manly one for sure;) ) exceeds the diameter then the cook time is about the same.  You have a great brother and he definitely appreciates your BGE.  Enjoy.

    Thanks. My brother also brought over a friend of his who is a "Wine" guy. He probably brought over 20 bottles of wine. There were 4 of us drinking. We finished off the wine. It's going to be a long day today......

    Da-n, that's stepping up in another arena.  Even with my math skills that's some serious consumption right there.  As has been said a few times around here, "I would have to rally to die."
    But at least you are suffering in San Diego-there are many worse places for recovery ;)

    The prime rib is fantastic, but I have to say I'm more impressed by the wine consumption. Can I ask whether anyone would have noticed the difference if you swapped in some Boone's Farm or a box of Franzia after about the 12th or 13th bottle?

    By the 12th or 13th bottle, I was just getting into the 5 S's. See, swirl, smell, sip, savor. I was killing it on see and sip, But then it got hazy and sip turned into slurp and gulp. I did learn a lot about wine though.

    Can't speak for the wine consumption, but you sure nailed the roasts.
    Drool drool!

    A biiger prime rib takes nonlonger to cook than a smaller one really

    it isn't a ball of meat. It is a tubular shaped thing. Distance to the center is what determines how long it takes to cook, since the heat is coming in perpendicularly to the center. 

    So if you double the length of the thing, it still isn't any thicker than it was. Shouldn't take any more time

    diameter of a pancake has no effect on cook time. Thickness does. 

    Same for a hot dog. A twenty foot hot dog cooks in the same time as a foot long

    We usually allow a couple/few hours.  With time for resting, and timing side dishes, and drinking wine, the time when you sit down to eat can be fairly flexible. Or should be at least

    better to finish early and let it rest an hour if you have to
