Instructions
- Preheat your Traeger grill to 250*.

- Set your desired temperature and plan the meat in the grill.
- Close the lid and allow it to cook, following the progress on the Meater 2 Plus app.
- About 15 minutes before reaching the searing temperature for the meat (100*), preheat your turkey fryer or large pan with oil.
- You will want enough oil to almost submerge the meat.
- Preheat the oil to 375 *.
- When the prime rib has reached 100* in the smoker, pull it from the grill.
- Carefully submerge the prime rib in the hot oil.
- Fry the smoked prime rib in the oil until the Meater app reads 110*.
- Pull the meat from the smoker and allow the oil to drip away.
- Place the prime rib on a cutting board and tent loosely with foil for at least 30 minutes.
