🤤 Headed to the smoker for 4-5 hours.
And can we talk again about pics getting rotated like this? 😉

What cut is that?
@voltronic I would be snarky if I just said, "expensive." :) Butcher called it a boneless beef rib roast. Pretty much a boneless prime rib. I'm not a bad cook, but I always get nervous when I'm put in charge of something like this. So far so good.
@Urbankidx4
The even thin layer of fat your butcher left on top bodes well for a long smoke. What's going to be your setup for this? My go-to is charcoal with hickory for brisket.
@voltronic I got a pellet grill a few months ago. It’s an interesting crossover of charcoal (flavor) and gas (convenient). Hickory has been my go-to choice for pellets.
Here is the progress. The shallots won’t stay on the whole time. Won’t open it again for a couple hours.
Has a long way to go. Smells amazing already.

Nice. My neighbor has a pellet smoker (Traeger clone) and he gets great results.
Please share a done picture.
@voltronic Will do.
Mine is a Traeger. Got it almost new from a family friend who went back to gas after using it just once. Honestly that was probably the right move for them and it was an awesome chance for me to get the pellet grill for a fraction of the cost of a new one.
I've learned that it does need some maintenance. Mostly cleaning out the fire pot. Otherwise it won't stat at temp.
