Beef Roast Anyone?

Sunday December 28, 2003
DENNIS12345 (DENNIS12341) Writes:

"First of all, Thanks to all the experienced and knowledgeable people on these message boards, my family and I had the best brined smoked turkey we've ever eaten for Thanksgiving.

I really am a beef person, but I know NOTHING about smoking beef. I would like to cook a roast. Does anyone have any tips for an unforgettable roast?

Things I would like information on are:

1. What kind of roast is best for smoking? (I'm really not looking to do a brisket this time)

2. What kind of wood is best for smoking a beef roast?

3. What temperatures and time frames am I constrained to?

4. Preparation Tips (injections, marinades, etc.)?

Any information is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to offer any advice or comments you want."

I had to laugh….I’m looking up the same information you are. I smoked a regular beef roast for about 5 hours now. The beef is kind of tough, but the taste is outstanding. I havn’t cut to the center yet, which I hope is fork tender like the pork roast usually is. I’ll write back the final verdict from the mother in law.
Take care,
