I got a "Top Round Roast" for about 60 percent off at Safeway, and rubbed it down with kosher salt and pepper, then let it sit covered at room temperature for an hour. Into the smoker at 350 degrees F until it hit 150 internal temperature. That only took about 3.5 hours. I used hickory, and after letting it rest for at least an hour under a loose tent of foil, we cut it up and sliced it thin in our Cusinart. It turned out to be the *best* roast beef we've ever had, according to my wife and kids. Simple, fast, and delicious!
Next time I'll go to 160 degrees F internal temperature. The very middle was just a touch underdone for the rest of the family.
