Outside Round Cooking Temperature

[Murray]

I have a small 1.5 lb. Outside Round Roast I’m smoking today to an IT 135F. Since it is such a small roast I was thinking of starting the smoke at a lower temperature, say 175F. By starting at 175F this should give the roast more time absorb more smoke. Any thoughts, especially food safety wise? I’m using a MES 130 with an AMZN 6” tube?

The tube emits more smoke than the AMNPS... I'd shorten the smoke time UNLESS you love lots of smoke flavor..

Thanks. I’ve never done beef roast and was curious if I’d get enough smoke with the shorter smoke time.
