Prime Rib- Modified Mad Max

This was my first shot with a prime rib on the Egg. After looking at loads of suggestions and looking at the Mad Max method, I decided to a modified Mad Max:

Took a 6 lb 3 bone prime rib and let it sit at room temp for about 1 1/2 hours. I seasoned it with olive oil, fresh ground pepper (after toasting the peppercorns), fresh tyme, salt, and rosmary.



I set up the Egg with standard BGE charcoal, and after starting the coals I put some soaked cherry wood on top. Using the plate setter, I got the BGE up to 500. I put the prime rib right on top of the grate bone side down and put in my meat thermometer. I then played with the vents to get the temp down to 250 which took about 1 hr. It took a while to get the ventilation just right. I was lucky because I think this extended time added to some additional sear to the outside. (Actual temp seen on the left)



I took it off at 122 and let it rest for 40 min (We were going to eat during halftime...). (2 hrs 45 min total time) I put it in the oven to get a little rewarming at 225 for about 15 min. It turned out great.
