I am making a boneless rib roast on my WSM 22 for the first time. I have followed the recipe here step by step. After only 2 hours, the meat is at 100. It is approximately 12 Lbs. The smoker has run solid between 230 and 240. I am seriously worried. Dinner is not until six. I had figured at least five hours. Does a rib roast have a stall like other cuts of meat? I sure hope so. Any advice welcome and very appreciated.

I have done numerous rib roasts on my Weber kettle using the Smokenator and the PartyQ. I have had time variances as well. Some animals are just more ornery than others. Did you take the bones off? Are you doing the reverse sear? I wouldn't sweat the time. Dinner can always be a little late. Rib roasts do not stall because you are only cooking to 135 (or 125 with the reverse sear).

Searing right before eating is better. Not uncommon for meats to initially climb in temp rather quickly. I see the same thing in sausage. It will look like them things are gonna get done in 2 hours, and the next thing I know I am entering hour 5.
If you sear it, then "rest" it, you are asking for some serious carry-over cooking, and a softening of the bark/crust, that could negate what the sear accomplished, with respect to the exterior.Last edited by Jerod Broussard; April 4, 2015, 04:35 PM.

Thank you Jerod. It just kept climbing. No stall. I was expecting 5-6 hours (leaving extra time just in case) but it reached 130 after 3.5 hours and I dropped the smoker to ~200 for the last 45 minutes of that two hours. I took it off, wrapped it in foil and let it rest in a cooler packed with blankets. It came out great, it was just not as hot as I would have liked it to be by the time it was served.

maloff28, a quick re-sear on teh grill next time that happens can heat 'er back up quick.
I had that happen on the last brisket I made. I planned a 14hr cook (including cambro hold), woke up at 3:30 and had it on the smoker at 4:30. Stupid thing was ready for the cambro at 10:30 am, already at 200 degrees in the point, the flat was there an hour earlier. I was dumbfounded. It happens when you least expect it and it can really mess with your plans.
