Finally Remembered

Since getting my egg in September I've been too busy learning the nuances to remember to take pictures of the cooks and final products... Until tonight. Trial run for the Christmas prime rib. This is the junior version at 7 pounds and only 3 ribs but I was primarily testing for flavoring (and making an excuse to cook a prime rib). Initial sear on the gasser for about 5 minutes. Then onto the egg at 350-400 with some oak chunks added in. Removed at internal temp of 122. Tented for 15 minutes. Pleased with first run on the egg. By the way, although I haven't posted much yet, I appeciate all the good posts.

    Welcome to the forum!  Nicely done on the rib roast.

    Nice. Next to me try giving it a reverse sear totally on the egg. You'll love it. Welcome!

    Looks great. 

    I usually just cook my prime rib at 325f indirect no pre or post sear.

    Good job! Looks like you nailed it. BTW you should get a reward for the most damaged looking thermometer cable that still works! That thing has more twists and bends than I've ever seen! I've lost several cables with a lot less abuse than what you show.

    You are right about the award. This is my original thermometer probe and it's been around the block a few times. Most of the twisting occurred before I knew any better. Hopefully the award is a new thermometer cable!

    I've seen mention of the reverse sear on the forum. Decided to wait until after the holidays to give it a try. What differences or advantages does it provide over a pre-sear.
