thirdeye,[p]Thanks for that, Thirdeye. I'm cooking a six pounder tomorrow and am still debating whether to go low-n-slow like yours or with the TRex-specced 325 degrees. I understand yours produces a more even color throughout where the TRex gives a more done meat at the ends. Is this your experience?

thirdeye,[p]Just put mine on. Bone in, indirect at 220. Plan to sear/high temp roast at the end. I'll snap some pics to post laster on. [p]Celebrating by drinking an icy cold Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. The wife is rolling sugar cookies and drinking mimosas. I love the holidays. [p]Marry Christmas. Take care. [p]Dave

Jeffersonian,[p]To be honest, I have cooked them using a variety of pit temps from 200° to 350°, but have never done a T-Rex method with one. Before I got hooked on end searing, I seared briefly in a cast iron skillet before going to the pit. It was easier for me to control it.[p]I do think that using lower pit temps makes it easier for me to get an even doneness across the slice, not that plenty of folks can't get a perfectly cooked one at higher temps. Just look at some of the ones that Max and others cook.[p]<html><font size="3" color="green">Merry Christmas</font></html>

Suck Creek Wings,[p]I have been tipping a few Sam Adams Lite's lately. It's a great change from the Ultra I usually have. About two hours before mine goes on the pit.[p]<html><font size="3" color="green">Merry Christmas</font></html>

thirdeye,[p]Thanks, Thirdeye. I'm probably going to make my roast temp decision based on how much time I have tomorrow...it's always a busy day. I'm going to try the end-searing, too. [p]Ultimately, I think it's hard to screw up such a nice cut of meat unless one burns it to a crisp.

thirdeye, Where do you buy your Kruez Rub? Do I have to drive to Lochart? It is not on their web site.

Jeffersonian,[p]Okay in that case, let's see here; Max uses an indirect up front sear at 500°, verses an up front sear over direct coals (sometimes flaming), like I usually associate with the T-Rex method. [p]If I had to pick one of those two, based on my skill level of controlling the sear ..... I would pick Max's.[p]But what I was getting at earlier, even though you are heating up the outside faster with a front end sear, it's your skill with the follow through during the rest of the cook that's important for an even doneness. With both of these guys being very skilled, I would like to witness a side-by-side prime rib cook off. That would be something.[p]<html><font size="3" color="green">Merry Christmas</font></html>

thirdeye,[p]On a long cook like we're talking about here, I'd agree that Max's makes more sense. I'd be afraid of a direct sear drying out over time. I might, though, end-sear directly.[p]I'd like to see a side-by-side comparison, too. Can we conspire now to see it end in a draw, thus requiring yet another competition? (Repeat)

thirdeye,
as always, you're looks great!!!

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]It will be an interesting afternoon. The wind is blowing from two directions about 50 mph, so hard I held on to the dome with one hand while lighting the Egg for fear it would slam shut. Now I notice my barbecue gloves have gone airborne and left the deck.[p]<html><font size="3" color="green">Merry Christmas</font></html>

Suck Creek Wings,[p]Just getting ready to put mine one and was checking the setup.
Gettin old, can't remember from one year to the next.[p]Think I'll go with a raised grill with bone side down till 125, rest for 15, then do the sear at the end. Thats worked pretty well before.[p]Have a great holidays.
