Did not plan my day well. How to keep rib eye to serve later.

[David Webb]

I thought I would try smoking my first rib eye roast today. It finished about 2 hours earlier then planned. Guests don't arrive for about another 2 hrs. What would be the best way hold the meat? I know when I do butts I wrap and put in cooler. Can I do this with a rib eye then crisp the bark just before serving?

probably to late to help, but foiling then into a cooler followed by a quick sear just before serving would be my suggestion. if it is too late-what did you do and how did it go?

I ended up putting it in a stainless buffet pan and placing in the oven for 90 min at 170. Took it out and put on the gas grill at 500 for about 5-10 min to sear and it turned out perfect. I was concerned it would have been over cook but it wasn't. Wish I had pictures.
