    I did one about 5.5 lbs. This was bone in though. Seared at 500 indirect for 25 minutes then finished as close to 200 I could get it. Took about 4.5 hours overall. Pulled at 135. It was amazing.
    Not sure about tying the boneless one.

    Ok thanks

    Did you keep it on while you were ramping down to 200, that had to take  awhile .Or did you pull it and put it back on when temp got to 200.

    I have two eggs so didn't have that problem. I have seen a lot of recommendations for a reverse sear on these. Cook low until almost done. Pull it and ramp up to 500 for the sear.

    Yes I have read that I think I'm going to try it sound fun.

    Thanks a lot and happy grilling.

    @s_austin_egger is right.  Most people reverse sear. It is easier to heat up an egg than to cool it down.

    Tying it to make it as round as possible gets it cooked more uniformly so more of it will be medium rare - or whatever you are shooting for.  Not everyone does it - but that is the idea behind it.

    Searing is optional depending on how you want the outside.  The best prime rib I ever cooked I got distracted and overshot the temp such that it reached my target temp during the initial lower temp part of the cook - so I just didn't sear it.

    Thanks, time to light my best friend, and give it hell, I do a lot of butts and shoulders, so this shorter cooking time has me a little off, pulling at 120 will be different. if it looks good I may skip reverse sear. we'll have to see.

    Thanks

    Once the length of the roast gets beyond the radius of the roast, the cooking time is around a constant.  It cooks from all sides-I generally figure around 20-25 mins/# at 250*F or so on the dome.  Here's a great link on the topic:
