Christmas Prime Rib De-boned. My First!


Followed Meathead's recipe to a "T". Cooked at 225 for 2.5 hours over Pecan and Cherry, At this point removed when probe hit 120 as per instructions and browned over grill for 1 minute each side which turned this mahogany beauty into a rich brown and served immediately. Came out rare-medium-rare. Made me look like the BBQ king in front of my family. Only negative comment was some do not care for some of the ingredients in Mrs. O'Leary's Cow crust...but for me it was absolute perfection.

One comment, I bought only a five pound prime rib thinking it was not enough for five. This roast does not shrink at all so had lots left.

Flame Boss controller actually worked this time unlike Thanksgiving where the server was overrun.

Not to toot my own horn, but this reverse flow smoker design I built has proven to be the best pit I have used in 50 years of Q'ing.

How does that Flame Boss controller work with this rig?

Hole is drilled thru back of firebox and pipe plug installed. Fan attaches to pipe plug and probe leads go into access hole in back of pit.

Here is picture of Flame boss and probe leads.





Placement of air inlet is 2 inches above fire grate to allow air circulation around fire coals and away from ash pile under grate.

When the firebox is open and unit is on the fan begins to blow at around 100% as I add new pecan logs or charcoal. This lights the new wood very quickly.



Probe leads are fed thru back of pit right above cooking grate level so they are out of the way of the lid opening. I put welded stainless steel eyes on the back to run temp probes through to keep wiring clean. One thing to remember with cloud based fan like this is if you finish your cook and push end cook button on phone you can not start another cook until the next day on the fan and even when you close up shop and go into eat the fan runs at full blast until the next morning when you go outside and unplug it even though the app is not running. Many things I would change about this device. Have put my 2 cents in to the manufacturer but have not heard back.
