I bought my Pit Boss Pro 1100 pellet grill at Lowes, but Walmart, Amazon, and the Pit Boss website all offer additional Pit Boss options. I love smoking my holiday meats, or any meat for that matter.

Prep: 30min
Total: 270min
Serving Size: 1 serving
Nutrition Facts: calories 232 kcal, servingSize 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 8 lbs Whole Rib Roast (preferably with some nice fat marbling through it)
- Seasoning mix or barbecue rub
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil or barbecue sauce
- Black Pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
Instruction:
- Preheat your grill to 225 degrees F.
- While the grill is warming up, prepare your roast. Trim any excess fat from the top of the roast down to 1/4 inch thick.
- Apply a coating of oil or barbeque sauce on the entire outside surface of the roast to give the seasoning a surface to stick to. Liberally apply the mix of half seasoning and half kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides, including the ends.
- Place the roast on the grill and close the lid. Smoke until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 120 degrees F. As a general rule of thumb, the cooking time is around 35 minutes per pound of meat, at a temperature of 225 F.
- To achieve the desired result the temperature range is : 120-125 degrees F for rare and 130-135 F degrees for medium-rare bone-in roast.
- Remove from the heat and cover over with aluminum foil to let the meat rest for 20 minutes.
- While it’s resting, heat the grill up to 450-500 F, or whatever the highest temperature is on your grill. Coat with a bit of oil and place on the grill for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove your roast to the cutting board and let the meat rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
