Prepare grill or smoker for indirect cooking at 250 degrees. Use pecan wood for flavor.

Step 5

Place meat on grill and stick a temperature probe in the thickesst part of the prime rib roast.

Step 6

Step 7

Remove roast and increase grill temperate to 600 degrees. Rest prime rib roast for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Return prime rib roast back to grill and cook for 2-3 minutes to form a crust on the exterior. The internal temperature should finish at 130 degrees for medium rare.

Step 9

Roast can be sliced and served immediately.
