Roast-A-Thon

[westexasmoker]

I usually do just a dry rub on beef, but was at the the store and they had Claudes and Stubbs beef marianades on sale...Since I had 3 roast thawed out to smoke this weekend, I said self lets do some marinaded beef.  One with Claudes, one with Stubbs and one with my own.  After a night in the fridge and resting while the smoker comes up to temp. (Toothpicks are so I can tell the marinades apart)



After 4 hours of mesquite smoke, and time to wrap up for the cook.



Might as well start some chicken thighs (for the non-beef lovers of the family) after the brine and some seasoning and off to the smoker.

Good lookin beef, makes me want some hash with an egg over easy on top

Awesome...   Is that the sirloin roast? Our local Schnucks has sirloin tip roast on special this week. (if 3.29/lb is "special")

Average time/temps?  I'm pretty sure I know what wood you used...

What was the final results of the taste tests?

[Smokin Soon]

I think I better try one of those. Could we drag details out of ya? Any boated cooking time?, Final IT and such?

[westexasmoker]

The two smaller ones are arm roast and the larger one a top round.  Smoked for 4 hours then wrapped in foil into the oven @ 200 for 3 more.  You can finish in the smoker, no problem, pull when IT of 145 and FTC if serving that night.  I like to leave wrapped and into the fridge overnight, reheat and serve the next day.  As for the marinades, they were all very good, Claudes was little on the sweet side, Stubbs was most excellent and the one I mixed up was good also.  All pretty much the same with just some subtle differences in flavor!

Thx!  Will try for sure...   They sell Stubbs at the grocery store near my office.

No good top rounds at the store so i ended up with an 8 pound bottom round.  Decided to try injecting some Stubbs Marinade Beef Marinade and inot a Zippy for the night.




Anything to change with this cut? Same internal temp? Nepa feel free to jump in here, cause I'm gonna try this in the Treager. Will need some pointers.
