Bottom Round « Thread Started on Jan 17, 2006, 3:07pm »
Hi folks my name is Mike and I just picked up a real nice 5 Lb. CAB bottom round roast. My plan is incomplete. I will be smoking it in a ceramic cooker to about 140 deg. Internal. When it is cooked I will give it a good long rest and then slice very thin for sandwiches. My dilemma is that I’m sure what the dome temp should be or if I should go direct or indirect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mike, I would sear it on all sides at 350-400° and then cook INDIRECT at 350° for the duration. Make sure to slice thin AGAINST the grain for best results.

Mr. Rumrunner:
Just wanted to let you know that I followed your advise re smoking the bottom round and it turned out fantastic. Sliced it very thin on my slicer and it makes for great sandwiches.
