🤤 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.
