Prime Rib on the Max
Bought a small 2 rib prime rib almost a week ago, finally got around to egging it today!
Got almost a foot of snow Tuesday night and spent the last couple of days digging everyone out. Just couldn't get around to egging anything.
No pictures of the raw roast this time, but trust that at one time it was exactly that...raw.
Roast was rubbed with olive oil and seasoned with seasoning salt, granulated garlic, pepper, hot buffalo rub, and whatever else was handy.
Took it out of the fridge at 330pm. Started the MMax at 4pm. 15 mins later the temp started spiking to 400-450F. Inserted the woo/stone/drip pan combo and the temp dropped to 300ish. About 15 mins later, after everything inside started warming up, the temp read 400F.
In went the roast. Tried to get the temp to stabilize at 350-375. Vents we closed a bit, then some more. Then some more.
Didn't open the top once to look...just trusted that the egg was doing its job.
About 100 mins later, the thermometer (Digi Q. Just the temp probe) read 120.
By the time it came out of the egg, the temp was at 125. It was immediately tented and remained so for about 15 mins.
It cut a perfect med rare.
My first roast on the MMax. Won't be my last. I think my large egg is starting to feel neglected....

Great job and great pics of the crust. These pics demonstrate why I don't reverse sear my prime ribs any more. A prime rib makes a great crust if you just let the temp get up over 300 or so for a while.

Well done (and I don't mean meat temp)! You gave me some inspiration for sure. You prefer the Woo over the BGE plate setter?Large, Medium, Mini, and Mini Max, a few too many accessories, 2 kids, 1 dog, and original wife. Lover of winter, powdery snow, and lots of golf.

Can't really say, as I don't have a PS for the MMax. I took the advice of many on the forum....buy the woo, don't get the PS for the MMax...Far more versatile.Powderhound said:Well done (and I don't mean meat temp)!

I have the PS for my LBGE, and no woo. Works fine for me....Large BGE

Awesome looking meal..Great looking sides..Greensboro North Carolina

Late to the post here, but did you use a V rack or put it directly on the grid? If so, any suggestions on where to pick one up that will fit. I just got my MM and am planning on doing a 2 rib for an anniversary dinner. Thanks.

I just threw it directly on the grate, no V rack. Easy peasy. I really like the smaller roasts as they have a proportionally higher ratio of crust to inner.
Love love love prime rib crust.Large BGE
