Wow, that's ambitious eating planned, prime rib, ham and turkey all in 24 hours. Sounds awesome!

Couple of questions for you about the prime rib if you don't mind, I did a small one recently and I loved it (TVWB Herb Crusted). I am wondering if you cook one that big the same way on WSM. What temp do you cook that at? How many hours per pound do they average or how long do you think for the 17.5 lb? Looking at the 2003 prime rib pic, were the ends more well done? Maybe foil the ends a bit if they are that big??
 
Hey shawn,
i did the cook last year like a midnight cook with a brisky.. needless to say it was dome around 8:00a. So that is the bone issue.. and none of it was rare. Although everyone loved it!!! I will be sticking to the Monreal rub Method this time and am inticipating cooking for 6 to 8 hours. If i remember I think I seared the meat in the broiler of the oven ( i.e. alton brown) for 10 mins after i removed it fromn the WSM... i should have kept a log!! learned my lesson.
 
Shawn,
How long did you cook your smaller one? I too am doing a smaller one (6.4 lbs) for Christmas eve with the herb rub. I think Chris said about 20 minutes per pound, but I'm double checking.
Thanks
 
Matt, so do you do you cook a large one around 300ºF as well?

Thanks <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Nick, mine was 6.5lbs, cooked to 135ºF internal in 2 hrs 40 minutes. Started over 300ºF, settled in at 280ºF for the remainder of the cook.
 
I'm targeting around 300 degrees!!!
