First Cook - Rib of Beef

[pastabake]

Rushed home after work to try out my new smoker but realized I had to run through the hour long steps before I could cook

Meant I didn't have time to cook the whole joint and eat a reasonable time so cut it in half!

 

Marinated the pieces in Worcester sauce, Dijon, Thyme, Rosemary, Lazy Garlic - Then before cooking seasoned with Salt, Pepper and Paprika.

Seared very badly in a skillet before cooking at 121 till the misses piece was 54 Deg and mine 49 - Rested for about 2 minutes before I had to get it inside of me. 

Needed a much better sear, longer and slower cooking time and a much longer rest but time did not allow and this was my first time ever smoking - Bloody pleased with the result either way!

Have just ordered some GMG Gold blend to try out as the Texas was very keen for this smaller bit of meat.

That looks great, as you said the sear could be better. I personally prefer to reverse sear my meat when smoking that way the rest is done and I can tuck in straightaway.
