Im going to cook about 10 lbs of bone in prime rib for Saturday. Its true "prime" rib not the grocery store meat. I searched the forms and was going to do it low and slow until about 125. No marinade, just kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. I was planning on no smoke, just whatever light flavor I get from the Royal Oak. I was reading alot of guys were searing theirs at the end with a hot over or grill. I think Im going to try to pull off the meat then remove the water bowl. Stoke up the fire with some fresh lump, vents wide open. Once the fire is blazing I was going to put the meat back on direct heat (no bowl) just to sear it. Has anyone done it this way, any reason I shouldn't? Except for the risk of burning myself trying to get the hot water bowl out.
