Top Round on the cooker

Sometimes you just get a taste for some BBQ. Those with smoke in the blood know what I mean. It had been too long since my Masterbuilt smoker earned it’s keep. So what did I find in the freezer? A 3-lb. top round. After defrosting you can see it looks as fresh as the day it went in – thanks, FoodSaver!

Here she is ready to go. Out of the bag, it was rinsed and dried, trimmed up, and had a coating of olive oil and fresh cracked pepper and sea salt.

This is it after 3 hours @ 275. I don’t know what is with the picture, it looks like the flash washed out my roast, which was really a nice color.

The smell is great and the taste is even better! Served with a baked sweet potato, and marinated BBQ onions.

I don't put together nearly as pretty a plate as Jeanie does, but it was all pretty tasty! If you've never tried a baked sweet potato with salt, pepper and butter, give it a shot.
