    Help! 20lb prime rib at 125' about 6hours before dinner time. Shall I foil when ready and cooler? Trying to finish as low as I can go. Any help would be fabulous. Please thank you.

    I am not an expert on prime rib, but I would foil it and let it rest in a cooler.

    Like a butt it will continue to cook, temp may even rise 5 to 10*F and it will hold temp with the cooler. sounds safe to me

    Good luck

      Foil it. Faux cambro. It will be fine. Foil, set it in a pan. Into a cooler. Fill the open space with towels and such. Don't open the cooler until it's time to prep he meal. Tender and juicy!

        If you foil n cooler it. I would pre heat the cooler with hot water to heat it inside first. Drain water of course, add foiled beef, then fill all air areas of cooler with towels. Maybe insert a probe thermo before closing lid so you know where its at temp wise.

            Wait, what I meant to say is just trash it. Vac seal the meat. Put it in a container with some dry ice and ship it to Tulsa. We will dispose of it accordingly.

              Just trying to save face! Or my rear!

              Awesome! I'll have it air-dropped to Tulsa. Many thanks people. This is THE go to site for ideas & advice. Regardless that I mis-managed my temps, with a 20lb rib should I avoid the "30 minutes per lb" I was using as a guideline? Thank you again everyone. Merry Christmas to all.

                Some foil, a towel and a cooler I gotta think are your best friend. How'd it turn out?

                  Cook it to temp, not time.

                      Yep and that is why i always have a cooler on standby. I use cooking times for a best guess of "when dinner will be ready". Some dinner is a little earlier and occasionally it has been late.

                      I pray that it all works out for you.

                        That is something I need to master. I would rank as an uber-rookie in that regard! Sorry!

                              Sorry guys. Not set for pics yet & a rookie too boot. Lighter rib was pretty rare but first into cooler. Amazing but, wouldn't believe that a coolered rib could only drop 7 degrees in almost 10hrs. Second was perfect. Live and learn. Keep a cooler close for rookies. Need to confirm & trust your thermos. Thanks again.
