Smoked Prime Rib (No Smoker)

Ingredients

• 1 prime rib roast
• Coarse salt
• Coarse black pepper
• Wood pellets or wood chips, for smoking

Directions

• Prep the roast: trim off the large fat cap, then tie it with butcher twine to hold its shape.
• Season generously all over with coarse salt and coarse pepper for a good crust.
• Line the bottom of a large pot with aluminum foil (so the wood does not burn through). Add a layer of wood pellets, then set the prime rib on a rack above the wood.
• Place the pot over a heat source (a small portable gas burner works great). Leave it uncovered at first so the wood ignites; once it starts to smoke, cover the whole pot.
• Smoke for about 2 1/2 hours, until cooked to your liking.
• Rest, then slice with a large knife and serve.
