Wow Ron, those look awesome!! I’ve got a Prime Rib Roast from Snake River Farms in the freezer just waiting for Christmas. Now I’ll have to decide on roast or routisserie on my XL Big Green Egg. Maybe I should buy another roast and fire up the Large BGE as well! Keep those BGE cooks coming, although I’d love to see more cooks on the M1, thinking on pulling the trigger on one soon.

Just did one yesterday with the plate setter. Bowl with water and spices. Mesquite wood chunks. Two hours at 200, 30 minutes at 275, and finished at 325. Pulled it out at 120 degrees. Next one will come out at 115 degrees. It was very flavorful. I did not rest it, will next time. Where did you get the rotisserie for your BGE. Mine is an XL. Thanks for the gasket tip on another vid, ordered one yesterday from Ron.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Sounds great! The rest is very very important. It can make the difference between a decent meal and a fantastic meal. The rotisserie is made by Kamado Joe and is called the Joetisserie.

[@jimsweet7663]

Looks great Ron! I use my Large BGE with FOGO to make prime rib. Spent years and tons of money perfecting my recipe. I pull mine at 118°, leave thermometer in, lightly cover in foil and watch the temp. It will continue to rise. I wait until it peaks, usually around 123°-125°. When the temp falls by 1° then slice it. Perfect! I’m like you, I go by temp, not time.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Sounds great! That sounds like a perfect way to do it. SO cool that you came up with your own method and that it works so well.

I have a mini and a 2XL. Three grown kids and use the 2XL when they're in town and the mini for my wife and I when they're not. I also use the 2XL and cook a couple of days of food for leftovers. Really interested in the rotisserie and feedback on if it's worth it..

[@FOGOcharcoal]

They actually discontinued the BGE Rotisserie and are working on a new one now. Todays new video is actually done on my 2XL

[@This-nerd-house]

Oh wow both look fantastic and soooo full of flavor! Love how you had the bones cut off but kept them tied on for the flavor. I may end up doing a prime rib for my holiday party soon thanks to this! To answer your question, when grilling I just use a simple and small propane tabletop grill from BJ’s, that’s all I have space for at the moment lol. But I recently got an air fryer oven with a rotisserie in it, I’m wondering if that would be a good way to try making this. You also taught me what the turkey lifters are for that came with it, I had no idea!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

That's a lot of great stuff there sir. Sure, I think the air fryer rotisserie would be fantastic for this.

[@junreyes1022]

Great looking cook! I will give fogo another shot. Used a couple of bags a couple of years ago and didn't like the flavor.

[@jimgallagher833]

Very nice video. This will be the 3rd Christmas for a rib roast on The Big Green Egg for me. I stuff it with garlic and rosemary. How much water are you adding to the pan for the au jus?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Sounds great! I don't add a ton as I find that it really grabs the smokee flavor too strong if I use a lot.

[@Tony5150RN]

Captain Ron you missed the third way. We have done it on the grate indirect, we have done it on the Joetisserie, BUT the best Prime Rib roasts we have ever done have been on the TrompoKing.

[@briani812]

is the au jus just the meat drippings combining into the water pan you set up? i got confused with the metal pan, where did that thing come from?

Yes, it is. You can also add a bit of beef broth to it as well. For future reference, we include a full recipe link in the description of each of our videos. We no longer sell that pan but there are other options that will work just as well, such as this- shop.kookio.com/carbon-steel-paella-pan

[@FOGOcharcoal]

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Those both looked great! I’m doing my research between BGE and Primo Ceramic grills. Let’s face it, for most of us these are a big monetary decision to make. I like the oval shape of the Primo, the divider for offset cooking and they are made in the states. Problem is, no Primo dealer close to me. My local Ace Hardware carries the BGE and I can see them in person, they seem to be quality products all the way through, even the nest. I’ve hear that the all in one nest/stand for the Primo is not up to the standards of the grill itself. So the BGE might just win out for those reasons.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I would not disagree with anything that you said. The same problem you have now will be even more frustrating should you have a warranty claim. BGE is second to none in customer service, should you need a claim.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@FOGOcharcoal Thank you for the reply. I see what you're saying. In my research I've never heard of The BGE letting a customer down but there have been various issues on the Primo side of things. Tomorrow after work I'm going to see if my local Ace still has the large size BGE. I'm going to tuck it away until my gal's birthday in September and surprise her with a great (but simple) meal.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hi Clinton, yes sir, that can be confusing. The actual cut is called a prime rib because of where it is taken off of the rib rack. This does not indicate that it is USDA Prime beef. This is a very common misconception.

Silly question but here goes. I want to feed 14 people and my butcher says it will take a 7-8 rib prime rib. From what I’ve seen prime rib should take 15-20 minutes per pound, resulting in a total cook time of 5-5 1/2 hours. Can I shorten the cook time by having the butcher cut it in half, resulting in 2 10 pound prime ribs. It seems that the cook time would reduce to 2-2 3/4 hours. Am o missing something?
