Good afternoon,
First post here. I’ve never cooked a ribeye roast on my Traeger. I just bought a 6 bone 17 lb Ribeye roast from Staters. I plan on using this recipe: https://www.traegergrills.com/recipes/slow-smoked-rib-eye-roast
My question Is that everywhere I’ve read, a 17lb roast at 250 will take 30-40 minutes per pound. That’s an 11 hour cook. At the same time, the recipe has two separate ribeye roasts (for 12 people) and has a 4 hour cook time. So if I keep it together at 17 lbs it’ll take 11 hours and if I cut it in half and cook them separately, it’ll be 4 hours? That doesn’t make much since to me. If somebody can advise?
Thanks
