Preparing the Prime Rib
Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the roast, then generously apply the spice rub, making sure to cover all surfaces. Let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Smoking the Prime Rib
Place the seasoned prime rib in the smoker. Smoke for approximately 30 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Resting the Meat
Once smoked, remove the prime rib from the smoker and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
