Looks great Dan!This was a costco USDA choice 7 bone standing rib roast that I bought before the $5.97 sale. The original plan was to smoke this for Christmas Eve, yet due to some unforseen family medical issues, that didn't happen.
On Dec 16th I cut the roast in half. The second cut or large end was cut into six steaks and a nice meaty four bone slab, vac sealed and in the deep freeze.

The three bone small end / first cut was wrapped in three layers of cheese cloth, sprinkled with kosher salt, put in a rack in a pan and out to the garage fridge that runs about 35F.
On day 3 after reading some notes from a well renowned chef I painted a few tablespoons of soy sauce on the cheese cloth. This is what it looked like after 11 days.

I put some probes in. The first one was reading hot and I repositioned it. The third probe was not in use and was my outside ambient temp. Not a bad day for late January.

A couple of hours of counter resting tented, then 8 mins in the electric oven at 500F to crispen it up.
