Those look great! What rub and sauce did you use?

I used meat church Texas sugar for rub and Bucky’s BBQ sauce.

The annual Christmas rib roast turned out well. The Meater probes impressed me this time around, my Flameboss controller for my egg finally took a dump (it withstood a lot of abuse) but I found that with the Meater giving me both an internal and an ambient temperature inside the egg I don't really need it any longer. Still requires manually adjusting the vents to get the temp where I want it but that's pretty easy with the egg.

That looks awesome!!!
We cooked a 9lb standing rib Christmas morning ourselves.
The next day we sliced up what was left for sammies this week.
Makes me wish I would have bought a commercial slicer 30 years ago.

Nephew made one Prime Rib on the smoker, and one in the oven. The consensus was the oven roasted was preferred.

I preferred the smoked Prime Rib. The added smoke flavor, especially of the bark was just phenomenal without being over powering.

Cool baking trick for those rolls and biscuits we are making to go along with our meats.

My family switched to almond milk for various health reasons. Of course you really can’t use that to bake with in place of cows milk. And the gallon of milk will go bad before I can use it all baking. (and freezing is a PITA)

I found that good quality* powdered whole milk works great. I just mix in the correct amount of powder in with the dry ingredients then add water instead of milk. Works great.

*not that sweet tasting boxed crap you find at the grocery.

That makes me feel better, we voted and I wanted to grill it. But the girl that paid for it said cook it in the oven. I believe it was the best piece of meat I've ever cooked.

Our mom had the same problem with milk going bad long before it was used.
Where she lives she eats one meal a day at the restaurant in the community or takes it as carry out. She brings home one or two pint? milks that they serve at the restaurant and she keeps a few in the freezer.

Smoked a prime rib on Saturday and a brisket on Sunday. Prime rib turned out excellent. Nice smoke flavor, not overpowering, excellent crust and a nice variety of doneness from rare towards the middle of the cut to medium towards the ends. Even my niece, who tends to lean towards a vegetarian diet thought it was great. Brisket was good, but not one of my better cooks. I got very far behind in getting it on the fire, I was a victim of circumstances. As a result I had to cook it at a higher temperature than I normally do and I had to cut the "wrapped cook" time short. It turned out okay, but it's a little tougher and drier than I usually achieve. It's still better than anything @d.kaufman ever made.

You guys that cook brisket, can I buy a full brisket and cut it in quarters to grill it? I would rather **** up a $25.00 chunk of meat than a $100.00 chunk, till I learn to do it.
What says INGO?

I always do halves since you have a thicker point cut and a flat portion.
