Prime Rib on Joetisserie with Meater Thermometer

jbarnes215

First time trying prime rib on my BGE. Why didn't I do this earlier??  I think I was concerned about messing up an expensive piece of meat. Oh well. Tried it on my Joetisserie with a liberal coating of Killer Hogs AP rub. Turned out fabulous. I don't like steaks, etc. less than medium so the temp turned out perfect for me. Wife and MIL like theirs well done. I've been married to my wife for 28 years and haven't been able to convince her otherwise.  I cut off two slices for them and seared them on a cast iron griddle I have for our gas stove. Everyone was happy. The Meater worked well. I got it at Christmas from the MIL. Was great for not having to open egg lid just to check temp. Time until done prediction was pretty accurate about half way through and remained the same. Well pleased with it. I have the Meater+ which is supposed to extend the range quite a bit. All in all a great first time prime rib and will definitely will be doing one again. Just need to find them on sale. Got a boneless at Costco for $9.99/lb. Had to have some black-eyed peas also just for good luck. I think this is going to be a New Years Tradition for us going forward.

Great cook and post.

That's how I like my prime rib as well - medium - although I'm learning to go a little more rare these days because of my wife and friends who say they like medium rare, but really mean rare.

How did you arrange the lump charcoal?  Did you use a kickash basket?  I always have a clearance problem when using the rotiss.

I've done rib roasts on the BGEtisserie several times, using the original Meater. Works like a charm. I use the Meater app on my iPad, kept within range of the Egg as a relay, and use the Meater app on my phone to monitor the cook.

Although I was a bit skeptical of the Meater at first, especially due to the long delay in getting it, I have to say it works flawlessly.

I have a kick ash basket but don’t use it with the Joetisserie. I take it out and just put lump in about half of the firebox. Works well for me everytime. I think it works better for the outside because it’s only cooking it once per revolution. May not be correct but I’ve never tried it the other way and why mess with something that’s working.
