Put the following vegetables in an aluminum pan in the Smoker under the Beef. After an hour or two add the liquids and Herbs. When you are ready add the meat to the Jus and Veg, cover tightly and put the whole deal in a 325* oven for 3-4 hours or until the IT reads 205-210*F. Test for fork tenderness. If it is falling apart remove the meat and pull it. Strain the Jus and remove as much fat as possible with a ladle then quickly drag strips of paper towel over the surface to remove the rest. Add as much as needed to moisten the meat. Season with S & P. Save the remaining as a base for Sauces, Soups or Gravies. Enjoy...JJ
