Pretty simple stuff...I read enough posts about people doing Eye of Round (or Round Eye Roast as Sam's Club here called it) for roast beef that when I saw one while shopping I decided to try it.

Pardon the quality of the pictures, it's a brand new camera and the "easy mode" isn't exactly the best.  I was playing with various options/filters/settings, but hopefully this will give you a decent idea.


I trimmed the excess fat.


The rub was equal parts salt, pepper, garlic, and onion.


I smoked it at 225 with the AMNPS, using the Pitmaster's choice for pellets.  In all, it took about 4 hours to reach 135.  I double wrapped it in foil, let it cool, and then put it in the fridge overnight.


Slicing time!

Here is where you can see me messing with the camera settings.






I look forward to lunches this week!
 
Thanks, everyone!  I think what I like most about this is that I know EVERYTHING that went into my lunchmeat.  No funny preservatives or anything!
 
 
Eye round or any Round is Good Eats if sliced thin enough. It's time for me to start bugging Santa for a Slicer...JJ
 
Chef Jimmy, I need a slicer too, I have been looking at Cabelas and they have a couple around $100.  Being a senior citizen living on a..... You know what I mean.  any way do you have any suggestions on a good inexpensive slicer?  Anyone else have a suggestions?  Any and all would be great, a little research would be good for me to do.  Thanks, Steve

 If you put them in the fridge over night, you can then slice them pretty thin the next day while they are cold. I actually use my electric fishing fillet knife. Not a slicer for sure, but does a nice job.

 
 
Sorry, don't have an electric fish filet knife either.  Might have to get one of those too.  Although the fish we get here aren't really big enough to filet.  Thanks for the info.  Steve

I bought mine at a flea market for $35. It's not a commercial slicer, but it's adequate. You could try craigslist, or hit garage sales?

Flash, what kind of fish is that?

 I am sure you have some fine trout out in your area. Always wanted to visit out there.  My biggest to date at around 33 1/2 inches. Had to be released as we have a 18-27 inch slot limit.

Flash, Yes good trout fishing in reservours near here, but isually 12 inches is a good size.  I used to smoke pan size trout some years ago an they came out as good as smoked salmon.  One of my sons took his family to the lake today for his birthday and borrowed my motorhome because of a fire ban(he likes to tent camp).  He promised to bring back some trout to smoke.  When do you want to come out here to fish?  Steve
