Reply to "Prime Rib overcooked"

Reel BBQ - I do these regularly now in the 009. There can be a food safety issue going low to high. Here is possibly where you went wrong; you took the roast temp too high before you lowered the temp on the smoker. Holding at 140 is not for extra smoke; it's for slow roasting. The 009 takes approximately 2 hours to get a roast this size to 108/9, which is when I open the door for a good 15 minutes to lower the temp, and then turn down to 140. I then hold at 140, which takes about 4 hours to reach 127 internal. This lets the juices redistribute thoughout the roast. I personally don't put wood in the box; I load with garlic and rosemary. Good luck on your next one!
