Well I have the next few days off, so I figured I'd smoke somethin'. I picked up a 2.88 lbs eye of round Roast. I've never even heard of it before. But it looked like a pretty lean piece of meat so I figured I'd try it. Lol. So, now here is where I come to the experts. Heck, maybe I should have done that BEFORE I got the meat. Lol. But , anyway....what do I do with it??? I've researched it a little bit. So far what I have planned it to score the fat cap. Season it with some rub ( I have some Famous Dave's rib rub that I'm gonna try). Wrap it over night. Let it sit for about 20 mins before I put it in the smoker. Cook until it gets to 135-140 wrap in foil and cook some more. But I forget the final IT. I'll look it up later.
Any other suggestions? Ooohh I forgot one thing. I'm going to be doing a boston butt at the same time. I know that the butt will take at least 10 hrs to cook. And I'm guessing that the roast will take at least 4 hrs.
I will be using Frontier Lump charcoal. I have apple and cherry wood chunks that I can use. Which would be the better choice?
I plan on putting the Butt on the grill NLT 9am on Saturday. And smoke it all day. I'm pretty new to all of this so any and all tips/hints would be GREATLY appreciated. And I will post pics along the way.
