Prime rib question

[Hal Desart]

Hey guys I'm smoking a prime rib for Christmas and had a question about where to place the temp probe. Do you just stick on the side or stick straight down on the top of the meat? Or does it even matter?

Thanks for ur help

From the side with the probe right in the middle. IMO.

Thanks you! Will do!

From the side. I did one straight down once and it was too close to the bone and threw off my temp readings.

Just hold the probe beside the meat so the point is half way down the meat. Then hold the probe at the "top" of the meat and push the probe in till your fingers touch the meat.

Exactly where you positioned it. Easy peasy.
