Prime Rib

demo

I am cooking a 6 lb. prime rib.  I have some questions:

Direct or Indirect?

Dome Temp.

How long will it take to cook?  I am planning on pulling it at 120 internal.

Your help is always appreciated.

Thanks

I get the egg to 450, put the prime rib on, and reduced the temp to about the 250 range.  After 2 1/2 hours, I increased the heat back up to 450, until the internal temp reaches 135 (this take about an hour -- maybe a 1/2 hour for your 120).  Remove, wrap, and let rest until Desired temp (I like 145).

For prep, I cover the roast with EVOO, and seasoned with Penzey's English Prime Rib rub. Let it set for an hour or two at room temps before cooking. The temps and time are also for a 10lb roast.

Naked Whiz has a nice looking prime rib recipe on his site too. I'm trying his next.

I do 126 internal to get a medium rare, more on the pink side!

Do you like direct or indirect?

I did my first one using Dr. BBQ's recipe, and it was fabulous.  Here is his video.

Here's how mine turned out following his method.

Thanks, VI.  I watched the video and saw your pics.  I'm gonna try that.

@demo,

If you want a no fail (hard to fail with decent rib roast) try doing the entire cook at 250* Loads of time to avoid messing up and even if you overcook a bit the meat will still be a beautiful colour. If you feel you need a sear at the end you can just open the vents and give it hell without raising the internal too much.

Indirect!
