Prime Rib from Wal Mart

Sorry if this has been asked recently. I bought a boneless Prime Rib (and price matched from Market Street ) but am holding off on smoking it until 7 days after I purchased it. Will it still be ok to eat without freezing then thawing it? I plan on leaving it in the fridge until it goes in the egg. Or should I freeze it for a few days? Thanks in advance!

Take it out of the package and leave it open to air in the fridge. It will only improve the end product

You are wet aging right now and if you do as suggested by @Eggcelsior you will be dry aging for a few days. No worries either way, as noted above.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.

My opinion? I like it to be as cold as you can keep it. 33-34 degree optimally. I know meat will not freeze at 32, but other things will in the fridge. So as cold as you can do it.

Mines about 33 down by the meat“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

@ajridge35 my advice is go light on the smoke or don't add any smoke wood to the charcoal“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

I aggregated temp data from a number of reputable sources and that's what I came up with, eliminating outliers. Higher temp increases enzymatic activity, but you want to stay below the upper range because of temp cycling.______________________________________________I love lamp..

Anything more than a hint of smoke on a prime rib roast will be regretted by most people, even those that like smoke flavor. But not all.______________________________________________I love lamp..

I will accept that as fact until disproven.--------------------------------------------------

my dads done the rib roast the last few years. The last one I did I added one medium-small chunk of cherry and it was nice but probably would've been just as nice without it.
just my two cents. Whatever you do it will be good, they're tuff to mess up; and then even if you do make a mistake it'll still be pretty damn good I bet :-)“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”
