2nd smoke - 3.5 lb outside round roast

[terry irvine]

thought id try a roast in the smoker today - picked up a 3.5lb outside round - rubbed it down with EVVO, mrs dash southwest chipotle spice, and a medley of fresh garlic, oregano, basil, chives, white onion and rosemary...... this was yesterday....

had it wrapped over night in the fridge

now that im into it i think i may have put it on a little early....only time will tell i guess

so my horribly timed dinner roast is at 156* IT and coming out of the smoker - wrapped it up in foil and a towel - 2 hours to go til dinner haha......guess i figured wrong at 1.5 hours per pound.... - roast looks and smells amazing.....just hope it tastes as good as it looks - ill add more once i slice it up

We have a found that when smoking beef a cut that has a cap of fat on it and good marbling comes out moister than one that doesn't.  I was in the wholesale store and a gentleman that is a chef here in Vegas was in there buying meat and I asked his recommendation and that was his advice.  Tested and he was so right.

this roast had a 3/4 inch cap which i trimmed down a little....didnt want quite that much.......and was amazingly marbled......i was surprised it was only 3.99/lb - in the picture above you cant really see the cap cause its facing the back of the box....and it pulled back a little......
