Time to smoke a bottom round roast?

[chiroken]

Hello everyone!

I've got a bottom round roast that I would like to smoke and would like estimated smoke time at ~225^. Roast is just under 3lbs, 2 lb 13oz. Never smoked a roast like this before.

Medium would be ~145^ internal temp?

Thanks again for your experience!

Chiroken, don't have a specific answer for you.  But, I'd think that a beef roast would cook a lot like a pork roast.  So, I'd be thinking about 1.5 - 2 hours per pound, depending a bit on the piece of meat and on your smoker temp.  If you beef is done early, just FTC it (foil, towel , cooler)for a few hours.  I've FTC'd pork shoulder and after four hours it was still so hot it was uncomfortable to pull by hand.

Chiroken, bottom rounds are not particularly tender and don't have a lot of fat. They make great pot roasts. If I were you I would smoke it for perhaps an hour or two at 200F, then transfer it to a crock pot and finish it off until it's fork tender.

Let us know how it turns out.

Good idea Rich. I know it's a pretty crummy cut, great for my beef jerky though! It was taken out to defrost for shiskabobs but I said it would be way to tough, why not smoke it? Never thot of smoking it then bringing it back in to finish it off. Thx.
