Pair it with your favorite side dishes and serve with a tangy barbecue sauce for a touch of Kansas City flair.
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and dried rosemary.
Rub the olive oil over the entire surface of the prime rib. Then, generously apply the seasoning mixture, ensuring every inch is coated.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and prepare it with soaked hickory wood chips for smoke flavor.
Place the seasoned prime rib directly on the smoker grates, bone side down. Close the lid and smoke for approximately 30 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium rare.
Once the prime rib has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes; during this time, the carryover cooking will raise the internal temperature another 5-10°F.
Before serving, slice between the bones to create individual portions or carve into thicker slices as desired. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce for extra flavor, if desired.
