Standing Rib Roast

I've been cooking on my large for about 10 months now.  This is my second prime rib, which has quickly become a family favorite.  This was an 8 1/2 lb 3 bone roast.  I trimmed the bones, tied, and seasoned.  Essentially followed this recipe -

250 dome until an internal of 125, FTC, and then reverse sear @ 500.  Deliciousness.

    Looks great!!  Why do you trim the bones before cooking?  I've always left them attached.

  • I've not done one with the ribs.  I will likely try that next time.  I just tried to follow the recipe as to not over cook the roast.  Does leaving them in increase the cook time?
  • Final product looks delicious. Did you make an au jus from the drippings? Any smoke during the cook?  Might have to try this for Christmas Dinner.

    Not sure about the cook time differential because I've never done one without bones (or on the egg for that matter).  I've read that they provide more flavor.   
    I didn't know if there was a specific reason you removed them (other than recipe).  Just curious.

    @fishlessman - I love the way you think.

  • I did make the au jus, it coupled with the dry rub make for a wonderful flavor combination.  I did not add any smoke, but that thought has crossed my mind as well.  The beauty of the Egg, tweaking recipes to one's own liking.  The possibilities are endless.  Carved with an electric knife I was able to get 10 nice slices out of this 8+ lb roast.  No pics of all of them because the village was hungry.

    From what I've read, folks remove the bones to allow for more even cooking (nothing blocking or insulating some of the meat from the heat, as well as it makes it rounder so more even cooking), easier to carve after the fact, and it gives you more area to put a bark on, that will get eaten with the roast.  Plus you can use the ribs for a rib cook, or in the gravy/jus (what a waste...)

    I might try one like this in the next couple weeks, I've never done it without the bones, but could be worth a shot.
