Holiday Prime Rib FAQs

What temperature should I smoke a prime rib?

We recommend smoking your prime rib at 250°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 125–130°F for medium-rare perfection.

Can I use this recipe for boneless prime rib?

Yes! Boneless and bone-in both work well — just monitor temperature closely as boneless roasts tend to cook a bit faster.

What wood pairs best with prime rib?

Hickory, oak, or a cherry blend adds a deep, rich flavor that enhances the beef without overpowering it.

How far in advance can I season my roast?

For best flavor, season with Big Poppa’s Money up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate uncovered to let the flavors penetrate.

What sides go best with smoked prime rib?

Try serving it with garlic mashed potatoes, creamed horseradish, roasted Brussels sprouts, or Big Poppa’s smoked mac and cheese.

For a deeper beef flavor use “Better Than Bouillon” Roasted Beef Base as a slather first on the roast. It’s really good.
