Ok, woke up this morning to rain. Everything wet, so had a notion to fire up the smoker. Problem is, everything is frozen. So, question is, has anyone smoked bottom round roasts? Scivallys has them on sale for 5.99.

Never have, but worth a try!

We are giving it a try. Tried to pick ones with the most marbling, but still pretty lean meat. The old boy behind the meat counter said smoking them is the only way he likes them.

Done it with chuck roasts many times. Never done it with bottom round, but worth a try.

Done a chuck but not round. If I would try it, I would treat it like a tri tip. Heavy rub. Mark the grain, cook to 140 and slice thin against the grain.

Well, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Really expected them to be super dry, but not really. These were pretty thick, like 6 inches squarish. Got them on about noon, had to pull them around 8 because the monsoon hit. Thought about putting them in the oven to finish, but they were at 155, so just decided to cut one to try. Just pretty darn good flavor, not fall apart like brisket, but good. Tried some today, after it had been in the icebox overnight. Few pieces on a plate, tablespoon or so of water, cover it with another plate, microwave for minute and a half. Really good.
