advice on how to cook this hunk of beef

[stjoeguy1122]

OK, all you grill masters I need some help. I have received this hunk of meat from a friend, he thinks it is a hind quarter, I have no idea. it is very large as you can see by the picture, weights about 23 pounds.

What are my options on smoking it? Cure first? 

Keep in mind that I have a Masterbuilt propane and MES 30 so some triming might have to be done to make it fit.

thanks for all the advice in advance

I'm not sure but it looks like a "steamship" roast to me without the bone coming out of the top.  I'm a banquet manager and we do the "steamships" for very large gathering and one of them feed about 200 people...by the slice.  I have an MES 40 and I don't think one of those would fit into it.  Good luck though and I hope to see a Q-view!

that was my neighbor told me also.

I pretty much cut the left and right side off, laid it over and cut it in half . .  still pretty big but I am going to smoke one of the halves. took the other half and sliced it up into 3/4" steaks (that is what I am calling them anyway)  going to do a crock pot roast with one of the ends and chunked the other end for a few pots of chili. I will get some pictures up here as soon as I can.
