Hey, Charlie....I have tried the eye of round 3 ways.I marinated and took to about 190� and it was too dry and needed to be sliced very thin....I tried taking one to about 155� and it still needed to be sliced very thin....I took another to 140� foiled it and added 1/2 cup Q sauce....I took it to about 190�, wrapped foiled roast in a towel and let rest for about an hour.....I sliced across the grain and it was good ,but somewhat pot roast like....I haven't repeated any of those attempts. Wink ....Hope this helps a little.
Charlie, I've smoked a few boneless top round roasts in my smokette. I've tried a couple of different methods. I've only rubbed them & I also injected a marinade into the beef once. I use a basic rub that you would use on brisket. The marinade I just made up. The problem with smoking a top round roast is that there is little fat in it to keep it moist. That's the reason I tried injecting a marinade. I smoked the beef at 225' with about 3oz of apple wood. I took the internal temp to about 165' (between medium & well done for any type of roast beef). I also sliced the finished roast & ate it in sandwiches. It seemed to taste pretty good to me. Even with the marinade it was not overly moist but since I prefer my beef on the well done side that wasn't a problem. One thing I may try next time is to wrap pieces of bacon around the beef. Hopefully the fat drippings from the bacon will have a positive effect on the moistness of the beef. I hope these comments help.
