This one is encased into seasoned butter. Was done October 15th. Aged for 2 months and some odd days. Went on the Traeger this morning. Should be awesome

So the butter was on it while aging?

Seriously 2 months?  It didn’t mold or anything?

wrapped in cheesecloth at 38 degrees ?

[Idaho_Elk_Huntr]

Yes, 2 months at 36-38 F.  Good videos on Youtube on aging meat. Some of it will blow your mind

[trophyhunt]

Wow!  That would be hard to do with such an expensive piece of meat, very curious now though!

If so just trim it off

Got already to put mine in the oven yesterday and couldn't find my meat thermometer.  Ended up doing the 5 mins per pound at 500 then shut the oven off method.  Turned out a perfect  slightly less than medium rare.

Going to smoke around 100 degrees for 2 hours, then turn it up to 225 after seasoning and covering in salt.  Wife doesn’t like me smoking it, thinks I’ll screw it up , I figure I can’t go wrong w smoke!

Did mine yesterday and it turned out great. This particular one was 12.5 lbs. (the 20lber was done the day before)

Mine was done on the green mountain and elevated off the main grill.

Started at 12:00 at 200*
1 hour cook time it went up 15* internal temp
Did the cross multiplication and it was trending slightly ahead so I dropped it to 190*
1:00-2:00 internal temp increased 12*
Kept at 190* until 4:30 and the internal temp continued to rise 12* per hour.
4:30 increased to 240* and pulled it with an internal temp of 133*at 5:15. (Disclaimer: I use the same thermometer each year on the grill probe and it may be slightly off but it is consistent with the  medium rare I like)
Tented in cooler for 15 min.  Internal temp went up 3-4*
Reverse seared in the oven for 12 min and it smoked up the house so I pulled it out.
Carved and served.

One thing to note, my grill has some hotter spots than others and it works well as others like it a little more done than I do. If you notice in the pics, one side is more done than the other.

Merry  Xmas

These pics are making me    Got 1 cooking right now. Usually always do the salt crust then low and slow, but going rogue this time and doing a heavy herb crust.


Have never met a prime rib I didn't like as long as it was cooked to med rare.

Anyone ever cook a 26lber?

Cooked one yesterday....  Except I cut in half due to time constraints.  400 degrees on the pellet grill for 20 mins and then smoked at 225 until 125.  Took it out and let it rest with foil over it for about 30 minutes while the pellet grill was turned up to 450.  Back on for about 30 minutes and then let it rest for 20 minutes.  Came out medium rare and with a perfect crust.  I'll try to get some pictures up.

Forgot to mention.  Garlic herb butter coated.  Mine looked almost identical to Idaho_Elk_Huntrs picture above before it went on.
