Hey, I am always looking for something new to smoke, and i think this is it!!!! I have a feeling the pecan crust is going to turn out amazing.

 

[the dude abides]

I know the feeling.

Great looking concept. I'll be watching to see how this one turns out. Best of luck.

 

[miamirick]

Did you find an answer to the temp question?
Not sure about bottom round but I would think 130-140 for med-rare...

 

[mballi3011]

Again I'm with Jim I think it's 140-145 for med rare on the outside and rare on the inside. I do my sirloin tip roast for sandwiches 140.

Miami,
I love pecans! always sneaking an extra handful into whatever the wife is adding them to.
NEVER thought of using them as a rub. I'll bet that is one good hunk 'a meat.

ok, it has reached 140 so i will pull it and wrap for at least an hour, guess i'll have to drink another jack while it sits,, not sure if i can wait to long to start slicing though. looks too pretty and smells like heaven,

 

[fire it up]

It looks so good! I can only imagine how good it must smell and how great it will taste.
Have yourself another drink, stop reading posts on the site because they will only make you more hungry and try to give it at least half an hour rest, I think after half an hour you should be fine to slice in and enjoy. Unless you can wait a full hour but c'mon, look at that thing! A full hour? I couldn't wait that long...

 

[gruelurks]

Sweet looking crust on there, it sure looks juicy!

 

[miamirick]

heres a shot of it after i pulled it, wrapped and gonna sit for as long as i can hold out, you'll notice my assistant is full of energy and ready for a slice

 

[fire it up]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.......
I think if I were there I would be pacing around, jumping up at the counter, maybe even humping your leg for a slice of that!

 

[miamirick]

easy now big boy!!!
