Ok....This may sound weird but I am trying to smoke a whole prime Rib 14 lbs for Yom Kippur eve this friday night. I am not kosher and love pork....Baby back ribs are the best and as Emerill says Pork fat rules.
I've always been the renegade and we have a back up turkey breast but I am not going to fail!
After reading all the posts the biggest thing really missing is the times or approx. times. I have a CS45 which I love but it doesn't get to 375 degrees. My butcher calls me the renegade so when I asked for the PR he was like bring me pictures and left overs. If it doesn't work it was the chef!!!!
I was thinking of splitting the 14 pound full PR into two smaller PR's. Thoughts???
If I left it as one I am thinking 3-4 hours with smoke( after warming to 60 degrees) at 180 and then 4 hours and 350 to reach 125-130 degrees.
If I split it I think 2 1/2 hours with smoke and then 2 1/2 hours to 120 degrees and FTC until dinner time and then back in oven as needed.
Thanks for your help....

I'll be sure to post pics.. If it goes terribly wrong I do have 5 dogs including a bloodhound who has been known to eat a 9 pound smoked brisket.
Unfortunately, we took her to the vet to throw it up on fathers day and i spent the rest of the day cleaning up a really go smelling brisket.
