Decided to try my first smoke with a 8lb Top Sirloin from Sams. Figured I would use the new food slicer and make roast beef.
The flavor of the meat was outstanding, and had a nice smoke. The only issue is that I went too heavy on the outside rub. Next time i will scale it down. If you just ate the sliced by themselves, the rub was too strong. However, with some mayo/horseradish on some bread...best roast beef sandwich I have ever had. Learning curve.

New smoker
I have a wireless video camera that I am playing with. I had it hooked up so I could watch the meat temperature from the video side on the TV. Relaxing on the couch, playing ps3 or watching tv, and then flip over. I am working on getting it to go to the laptop and then it will shoot to my android phone so I can monitor it from anywhere.
Put in double foil for over an hour to let the meat rest. It will cook another 5 degrees so I had pulled it from the smoker early anticipating that.
