Prime Rib Roast - on or off the bone?

[JPSBBQ]

Closing the loop, the roast ended up being almost 13 lbs. Took about 5 1/2 hours, 4+ at 225F and an hour or so at 450F. I used a rub provided by the butcher, and it came out GREAT!

Key point - the Traeger probe did not extend fully in to the middle of the roast. When the probe was at 130F, I checked with a handheld and at Rib 3 in the middle it was only 120F. I upped to 450F to reverse sear, but used the handheld to make sure the middle was 130F before I removed the roast.

Probably could have used a 4 rib roast even for 9. Oh well. Great leftovers.

30 minute sit-time per the "Bearded Butcher" was right on.

Happy New Year everyone!

Great outcome! Great advice too, always use a good instant read and probe several ares. It’s easy to find an area with more or less fat and your readings can be all over the place. Stick and stay thermos of any brand should be used as a means to get “in the ballpark” precision temping should be done with the highest quality instant read you can comfortably afford. Great post man!
