I was thinking about trying to smoke a roast this weekend, just not sure what kind of beef roast I want to try. Any suggestions?
Kind of depends on what you want to spend and how many people to feed. Rib Roast aka Prime Rib is a favorite of mine but rarely drops below $8/Lb so I only make them a couple times a year. Top Butt aka Top Sirloin is a great choice and cheaper. An Eye Round is not too big and there are the various cuts from the Top and Bottom Round. Anything from the Round will be cheap but can be pretty tough and dry a sand if you cook them beyond 140*F (Medium). In any event I will post the Smokey Au Jus in case you want it. Good Luck...JJI was thinking about trying to smoke a roast this weekend, just not sure what kind of beef roast I want to try. Any suggestions?
Prime rib is my favorite but I can only afford it when its on sale. I have done a couple of bottom rounds that turned out very well but I only cooked them to 130 degrees. A bottom round was my first try at smoking beef and once I tasted hickory smoked beef I was hooked. I wouldn't even consider smoking beef without Chef JJ's Au Jus in the smoker with it.
