I'm tackling a 7-bone, prime rib for Christmas dinner - what's y'all doing?

One tip, let it come to room temperature before smoking/cooking...otherwise it will have nice crust on the outside and be near raw in the middle. (Learned the hard way)

On the smoker. Never smoked a prime rib before. Ordered it yesterday.

We could end up with a Christmas Vacation situation here.

awesome

what kind of smoker/wood/rub are you going to use?
Memphis Grill wood pellet smoker - I know, it's cheating.

Frenched, extra virgin olive oil, smoked salt, pepper, garlic powder, brown sugar, spritz of melted butter after it sits in rub for 6 hours right before it goes on smoker.

It's a slight variation of a Raichlen recipe.

Will finish it in my indoor oven to sear.

I have a Traeger and do not GAF if its cheating.

I'd ask Boxter for some tips as he posted one on FB a year or so ago that I'm still drooling over.

7 bones is a big freaking prime rib! I've never tried to smoke one, but one that large would scare me. Let us know how it turns out. Where did you buy it?
