Ingredients

·      6 lb bone in prime rib roast

·      6 tablespoons butter softened

·      2 teaspoons minced garlic

·      1 1/2 teaspoons minced thyme leaves

·      1 1/2 teaspoons minced rosemary leaves

·      salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1.    Preheat an electric smoker to 250 degrees F. Load the smoker with cherry or apple wood.

2.    Place the butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine.

3.    Rub the butter all over the roast. Place the roast in a disposable aluminum pan.

4.    Place the roast in the smoker. Cook until a thermometer registers desired level of doneness (I like to cook to 125 degrees F). 

5.    Remove the roast from the smoker and cover with foil. Let stand for 15 minutes. The roast will continue to cook during this time and the temperature will rise another 5 degrees. 

6.    Remove the bones from the roast. Cut into slices and serve immediately with the pan drippings.
