I'm going to be cooking a 4 bone rib roast tomorrow. I have a recipe from Chile Pepper magazine that I plan on following but I'm open for other ideas too. This is my first one and I'll be cooking it on the green Egg. Any help would be appreciated.
There is a metric ton of thoughts and advice on this site particularly since right before Christmas concerning rib roasts. I would recommend that you go to today's posts and go from there. Hope this helps.

Cut the bones off the roast. They promote uneven cooking and hot spots. Remove the bones, and try to make the roast as cylindrical as possible so the roast cooks evenly. tie with butcher twine to force it to keep the round shape. If you have a way to cook it elevated up in the dome, that is best. Otherwise use the grate and heat diffuser.
Reverse sear it and you'll be good to go. Slow cook till 110 F and then pull it from the heat to get the fire up too searing temps and let it rip on the open fire until 125 F internal and rest for a 10 mins or not at all. Just my abbreviated two cents.
I did ours indoors (bad weather), but did finish it on my Weber gasser on the flat side of GrillGrates. Bee-you--tee--ous deep pink from bumper to bumper. Mine did take an hour or so longer than the time estimate in the recipe and I only seared for about three minutes per side--only two sides cuz I couldn't coax the son of a gun into a round cylinder no matter how tight I pulled on the string. Still had a great crust and virtually no gray band.
You won't be sorry you cooked it this way!!
BTW, this is pretty much the way Spinaker (above) recommended.

i did this Christmas Eve. Slow cooked 225 on a kettle with sns with no smoke to 115, then seared on a blazing hot BGE. It was 135 after searing.
Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
One caution about reverse searing a rib roast on the BGE: there is a lot of fat that is just ready to EXPLODE when it drips and hits that fire underneath. Instead of doing it on the grate, put a cast iron pan on the grate and do the roast in it.
