Smoked prime rib roast recipe:

Step 1
– Rinse and trim the prime rib roast then dry it
– Coat it with olive oil
– Add rub (The Spice Hunters, Grill Shakers, Hickory used here)
– Cut cloves of garlic into wedges
– Cut 1/4” to 1/2” slits through the fat cap and into the meat and place the garlic in the meat
– Sprinkle fresh or dried rosemary on top
– Place the prime rib roast in pan with a rack
– Rest the prime rib roast overnight in the fridge or let it sit out ~2 hours until it gets to room temperature before putting it on the smoker

Step 2
– While the prime rib roast is getting to room temperature set the smoker on high or anything ~400+ degrees
– Add beef stock to the pan for moisture and to be added to the Aju later with the prime rib roast drippings
– Place it on the grill for 30 minutes at ~400+
– Reduce the temperature to 250 and we targeted medium rare 130-135 internal temp
– This prime rib roast was 24 lbs and took about 15-20 minutes per/lb though I had to slow it down because folks had to come later than expected. So I turned it down to 180 for a while and then up to 325 to finish it off right on time;-)
* Make sure to use a digital thermometer and make sure it’s accurate (taking the temp of boiling water will confirm accuracy)

Step 3 (optional)
