Mad Max Prime Rib Timing Question

Merry Christmas everyone!!! 

I am doing a 3 bone Prime Rib today and am trying to get some idea on timing.  I cannot locate ANY info on how to estimate time using the Mad Max method... Basically going to heat the egg up to about 500 or so with the platesetter in.  Put the roast in and shut the vents to bring the temp down to 325.  Then roast at 325 until it gets to about 118 or so.  

Thanks for any help!!!

    Merry Christmas to you-no help with your direct question as I have not done that particular cook but an observation-I have found that shutting the vents creates that "bad-smelling smoke" akin to snuffing out a candle.  Hopefully not applicable with this recipe.  Just an opinion and we all know what those are worth.
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Hadn't thought of that... Might just go at 250 until it hits 115 and then sear on my gasser.
    Decisions, decisions....  The journey is so much fun.

    Perhaps the recipe has some insights.  Absent that you could throttle way down (w/o fully shutting) and should get the same temperature reduction, albeit a little slower.  FWIW-

    Doing my 2nd in 2 weeks today...325 for 18-20 per pound until about 110-112 with platesetter indirect.  At that point I open all vents and pull the plate and get a nice reverse sear for about 60-90 seconds a side at high temp.  Pull, let rest 20-30 minutes, perfect med-rare.

    Sounds great... going to have to look into methods of pulling the platesetter.  This year will be going indirect all the way. Enjoy!
