Christmas prime rib decisions

[Lemonhead78]

  I'm having family over on Christmas. I'm in charge of cooking the rib roast. It's a 4 bone roast. I can't decide which grill to use. Weber kettle indirect low and slow or my pbc. Their both excellent but both different. The Weber will give maximum tenderness everyone loves with a rib roast. The pbc gives a unique flavor of smoke. Im blessed being this is the biggest decision I have to make so I'm grateful. If it snows

I vote for the Weber.  But then I always vote for the Weber as it is the only thing I cook on ! ! !

I done this for 4 Christmases and think the recipe is correct in that it makes the perfect rib roast

I'm kinda trying the opposite of this. Have seen it done by a couple of great chefs. 500 degree oven. Exactly 5 minutes per pound of meat. Turn off the oven and let meat sit in the oven for 2 hours.

   I've got a 6 bone rib waiting at Fresh Market for weekend pickup.  They have it on sale for 7.99 until the end of the month.
 I'm pretty sure I'm going to rotisserie it on the weber.   
I'll do a low heat smoke first for an hour or so first.  I'm thinking a hickory , cherry wood blend for the smoke.  I'm open to suggestions about the wood blend if there are any....

Go with the tried and true Weber. Your guests might not be familiar with the "grease fog" flavor from the PBC. Play it safe.

My wood choice for prime rib:  Oak    and not much of it.   Prime rib roasts don't need too much to make for good eats.  Keep it simple.

Seasoning:  dalmation rub

     The Weber kettle using snake method makes an excellent roast. The method you mention of 500 per pound for a certain time than turning oven off isint an option for me. It doesn't work well in my oven . I think because my oven is so old it doesn't hold the heat well and is pretty much a cold oven in about a half an hour.

I'm gonna google Dalmatian rub. Thanks

You don't have to do that:

50/50  salt and pepper

I'm thinking the same. Andrea said that she really loved the way it turned out last year on the kettley using the rotisserie. S/P/G for me.

My vote would be for indirect on the Weber as well, because I know how great they turn out!

Gus's method is the best of both worlds - smoke and the absolute best way ever to cook a prime rib.

If you think you should sear first and then turn the oven off/down or do any other damn fool thing, go to the recipe and push the "READ THE WHOLE STORY" link below the two top photos. If you're not convinced, search the forum for "prime rib" under my name and check out the pictures. Or you could drop by on Christmas (transportation not provided) and I'll save you a slice. Maybe.

Glad I read the "Whole Story", gonna do mine that way this year.

The Turtle got to me. Going to ditch my experimental method and go with this one.
