Let the roast sit for 25 minutes, during this time make the garlic herb paste by adding the butter into a food processor with rosemary, thyme, parsley, red pepper flakes, basil and lemon juice. Blitz until it becomes like a fluffy consistency.
Spread the butter paste to cover the whole rib roast. Place an aluminum pan (filled with 2 cups of water) on the smoker, now (with the prime rib on a wire rack) place the rib roast on top of the pan. Shut the smoker and smoke until the rib roast reaches 125-127 degrees F internally.
