Is just keep it in fridge wrapped and it will be fine.  Freezing would be harder to get back on by the weekend. 

With the smoker I'd use 225 until it hits 130 and then rest to 140 (medium rare).  I'd season it well and sear it on all sides before I smoked it and I'd only have smoke for 2ish hours.  Jack the temp at the end to get a crust.  Avoid any humidity if you want to control cooking.

I'm gonna sous vide mine for 24 hours at 131 and then a 500 degree oven with a crust of whipped egg white and pepper and fresh chopped rosemary. 

Merry Christmas and I'm sure it will be good eats at your place.

Make sure you get the prime rib to room temp before you put it on the grill.

I am not sure about freezing it.

Is it fresh or aged?  Usually the aged meat keeps longer since moisture is removed.  If fresh and you don't want to freeze it, you can dry age it at home, takes about a week to a week and a half.

Not sure on the fresh vs aged , Wife picked it up today at Costco. It's got a Sell by date of the 19th so that's why was thinking throw it in the freezer for a couple days. For the price of these things don't want it going bad  before Christmas.
 How would I dry age it ?

No need to freeze.  I would take it out of the wrapper and let it dry in the fridge for a couple days before cooking as it concentrates the flavors.  If you like it rare in the middle, cook no more than 125 in the middle, I do mine until 120.  Let rest, covered for 15-20 minutes, covered in foil and a heavy towel.  I'm doing mine in the smoker for the first time, I usually have done in on the grill or oven.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

You would cover it with something like cheesecloth and let it air dry in the fridge.  You have to swap the cloth every day or two.  One drawback to doing something like this is the moisture content drops, so the prime rib gets smaller over time.  So if you wanted to feed a big group, there would be less (less because it is more concentrated).  Your fridge will also get that good butcher shop smell.

If you've never smoked one...... well, your missing out. Just keep in fridge til you cook. Bring out of fridge and let it warm to room temp till you cook. also, make sure your let it rest after you take it out. it will climb about 5 deg. after.   :twocents:

If you're worried about it going bad you can also season it and leave it in the fridge the salt in your seasoning will easily give you a couple more days when I do mine on my pellet grills I smoke for an hour then turn the grill up to about 400 cook it hot till it reaches 135 let it rest for an hour good to go

Whitpirate,
Do you have a dedicated sous vide unit, or one of the portables that uses your own container?

So my oven is broke and the replacement won't be here until after the 1st. So will be cooking my Christmas prime rib on the gas grill. Any tips for me to make a great prime rib for Christmas?
