Standing rib roast timing question.

[Matthew Jones]

I am cooking 2, 3 bone (6lbs each) at 225-250f. If 1 3bone roast takes 3.5-4 hours, how long should I budget for 2? I know it wouldn't double but and I am using a remote thermometer but I need to have an idea when to start the cook. Any thought on timing would be appreciated.

I am smoking a 2 bone rib roast ~ 225 until it hits 125 internal. Then I am going to put it under the broiler for (5) minutes. I am budgeting 3.5 hrs for the smoke. I don't care if it gets done sooner, I'm just ball parking to have my sides ready.

"At a cooking temperature of 225-250°F, the estimated cooking time for a 3-rib roast weighing 6-7 pounds to rare doneness is 3-1/2 to 4 hours, 30-40 minutes per pound."

Given that they are tow same size pieces with reasonable separation between the two (3-4”?) they will simply cook as individual pieces, I wouldn’t overthink it. You are not doing a 12# roast, you’re doing 2-6# roasts. 3.5 hours seems a little long to me but, if that’s where you like them I would proceed as usual, maybe add 15 minutes?

My notes from last year's roast say my 4.75lb, bone-in roast took 4 hours and 20 minutes at 200F to reach an internal temp of 130F. At that point, it was rested and then seared 10-15 minutes in a 550F oven.

Well. There are two of us who be in that plate ears deep, the rest of the guests would be whining about it being raw! They are wrong!

Thank you everyone. Tim that was what I was thinking as well on almost the same time and I pull at 120F and rest. Merry Christmas everyone.

Four..... just a bit on the mooing side for my g/f, but not by much.

Well,I just picked up an eight pound one @ $7.99/lb. for later enjoyment, the nice woman at the butcher counter double wrapped it for me to slip straight in the freezer!
Merry Christmas!

Just fine. Took a shade over 3 hours and perfect medium rare.
