Standing Rib Roast FTC

in EggHead Forum
Picked up a whole standing rib roast that I plan to cut in half and cook for two separate Christmas dinners. One dinner is a 45 minute drive. I don't have much experience with FTC, do I let it rest uncovered before I wrap it and put it in the cooler or do I wrap it right away? Wrap tightly or just tent it? Also, I have butchers paper, is that better than aluminum foil for FTC?

I plan on pulling anywhere from 120-125 internal temp and using a little pecan for smoke.

Thanks for any advice!

    I would wrap it right off the egg. That's what I do whenever I FTC. Also, 45 minutes is nothing in FTC. Two hours would be fine. Hope this helps!

    What temp do you plan to cook at?  That will factor into how much carryover you get which plays into wrapping right off the egg or letting it come down first.

    I'm also aiming for more of a rare - medium rare, figured for the people who don't like that they can throw theirs on the grill for a bit

    You may want to try cherry for smoke.
