Albertson's has this on special this week @ $4.77/#--- Choice. I couldn't resist. I bought a 2 rib standing rib roast and cut it in half for Ms Hickory and Me:
About 2.8#, OO, S&P, GP.
Hickory smoke @ 185* about 3 hrs.
IT @ 129*(thermopen) then rest in FTC until Ms Hickory got the sides together and we had a pre-dinner cocktail and glass of wine.
About 2 hrs later plate and serve. Garlic mashed potatoes, mixed cabbage salad, horseradish, and hot spiced asparagus.
Sooooo tender and juicy, kiss of hickory smoke taste, and yes ----we are very thankful
