Prime Rib on the BGE!

Just thinking about doing a Prime Rib on the BGE for my wife on Valentines Day. How long do you all think it should take at say 250 degrees to get to an internal of 110 degrees. It will most likely be about a 4lb roast?

    45-120 minutes.  Depending on the temp of the meat when you put it on, your target temp, and a few other factors that are beyond your control as each piece of meat is different... and sometimes when we shoot for 250 the egg settles in at 235 - or 265... and that's OK.

    ^what he said. 

    And if it is done early, it can rest an hour easy.

    While you are at it, here's a good read on prime rib cooks:

    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.

    That will likely be a pretty quick cook to 110.  There will be some carryover cooking - 5 or 10 degrees, but wrapping it and resting it for an hour to let the temp equilibrate throughout the roast has always been a good thing in my experience.
