Just bought 3.75lb prime ribeye roast and looking to reverse sear it tomorrow in time for a 6:30pm cook time. '
Gonna be cooking probably on my BGE with some oak chunks (may do on the rectec, but leaning towards the egg.
Curious about how long people think it'll take to get up to temp (120, then to sear) It's prob about 3-4" thick at its thinnest.
Planning on cooking at 225 and yes, I'll be using a thermometer, just want to guesstimate for timing purposes.

I believe that Oakgrovebacon has the answer. Looking back at my Fireboard graphs, it could go to 2-1/2 hours, but with that much meat, I might pull a little before 120F -- Say 112-115 because there is a large mass and you'll get up to 10F of carryover.

I would plan on an 1 1/2 hr to get it up to searing temps. But like others have said, take it off earlier than normal, because you will get more carryover. Then get out your BBQ dragon and get the Egg up to warp 10!
Thanks for the help everyone...Serving time at 6:30pm. Gonna plan on firing up on the BGE around 3:30, giving it an hour or so to get the temp stabilized, then hopefully getting it on by 4:00-4:30 and should be done right around game time. Plan on pulling at 115. If it takes longer than 1.5 to 2 hours, then we gots uuni pizzas for apps!
Just got the uuni 3 for my wife as an anniversary gift (she's the baker) and we love it. Works as advertised and can truly get up over 900 degrees. Only problem with it is now she's impinging on my outdoor cooking space....

I did one last weekend, though it was a bit bigger. On the kettle at about 225. Took me close to 3 hours to get to searing temperature. Of course I allowed 1 1/2 hour so dinner was late. Was not too popular over that.
The prime rib, about 3 lbs after trimming, Came out great. Had a hard time getting the temp up on the BGE, didn't want to overshoot, so ended up doing the bulk of the cook around 200-210 and it took just under 2 hours to get up to 115 internal temp. After searing, the internal temp didn't quite get up to 130 in the center (right after taking it off). It was 125 and as low as 115-118 in some parts, but we ended up letting it rest (out of necessity in waiting for people to arrive, etc) before cutting and I think the carryover worked well in this case.
