Reply to "My first Prime Rib-questions"

At 180* smoker temp, dls' 13 lb prime rib took 4-4.5 hrs to cook to 121*. I don't think an 18 pounder will take significantly longer because the larger prime rib is longer but not thicker. I had an 8.5 lb prime rib take 3 hrs to get to 125* internal cooking in 2 stages (190* for 90 minutes and 225* for 90 minutes). So it looks like 4-4.5 is about right at the lower cook temp.

I always remove and retie the rack after seasoning. Like the meat and the bones to have seasoning on all sides.
