Had intended on a top round, but seeing how they weren't cut yet when I went into the local store, and the bottom was a few bucks cheaper, I opted to try it instead.  Either way, I am looking for some fine roast beef for the week. 


Rubbed it with a base of mustard/Worcestershire sauce, then some SPOG plus smoked paprika & some ground cumin.  


Bagged it for the night, anxiously waiting for tomorrow! In the meantime...

Well it reached 125 earlier than expected, so I let it go to 130 IT before I pulled it from the smoker (less than 2 hours in).  Wrapped in foil and set in my oven for an hour, hoping to gain a few more degrees.  Unfortunately after an hour it had only reached 132 IT.  So it was definitely RARE, perhaps a shy more than I like... But with beef it's still edible I guess haha.  Worst case it'll cook up when I warm it in the oven or microwave at work.  

Do wish I had grabbed some veges & attempted a french dip.  Maybe tomorrow night or next time.

Looks perfect from where I'm sitting.  
 
Thanks fellas!  I had decide to toss it in the oven for a bit after sliced, some of the pieces in the middle were just a bit too rare for me... Bagged up my trash, walked out to the dumpster, came back in to check it.. and WHOA! Heart bout skipped a beat to see first glance some very well done slices! 

Thank goodness that was only a couple slices, and the rest tasted really good! Tempted to try again next weekend, kicking myself in the butt for not making the French dipping sauce to go with it hehe..
