On the one hand, I like to follow the rule, "Never try something for the first time on your guests."
On the other hand, I feel pretty confident about things these days, and I've done probably 50 rib roasts over the years, and I want to do this one on the rotisserie, on the Weber Kettle.
So, if I do decide to rotor it, I'm thinking two baskets of coals, one on each side, drip pan in the middle. Full chimney split over the two baskets, fully lit, dome temp maybe 275 after adjusting the vents. 4.5lb roast should take maybe 2 hours to 135*?
The other choice is BGE, 250* indirect and sear at the end. I've done half a dozen of those, confidence is high on that one. But I like to live dangerously (once stood on 5 at blackjack, but cards are not my bag, baby).
