Just a 2 3/4 lb rump roast. EVOO. A very good dose of Rasing The Steaks and the fresh Peppercorns.
Sugar Maple for smoke. :laugh:

2 Hours in. Pulled at 138.

Wrapped in foil for 20 minutes before slicing. Beatiful pink color and no blood running out of the slicer.

The 610 Chef's Choice has a small learning curve. Shredded most but really didn't care.

Nice sammich.

    Kinda, my slicer won't go threw the 45 lbs of rump roast I'm cooking. But the flavor was dang good. ;)
    I'm hoping to get a couple more roasts and partially freeze and see how it does for beef jerky.

    So you decided on rump instead of chuck? Rump always seems so dry to me, especially when not done med rare.

    BTW, did one Thursday night - Friday with some seasoning from Schwartz's in Montreal, the real Montreal seasoning. Stuff must have saltpeter in it, the smoke ring was unbelievable, like an inch into the meat, and it was about the most tender I've ever done... Was probably about 17#. We served 11 people and there's only about 3# left. My wife froze if for when a friend is visiting and I'll be away... damn I wanted a sandwich tonight....

    You have to understand, I grew up cooking 30-45 lbs of rump roast every week. That is my comfort zone. It is my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. I'd really hate to try something new. :(

    sounds like you may have to make the car washes "pay" for a "advertising" hobart slicer :whistle: at least that is what the IRS will see :lol:


    i think that the rump roast is a weird cut of beef if it gets too "done" it falls apart but finding that magic number is proabably the answer to all of our questions


    looks like it was good though

    Can't blame you for that. Congrads :) I'm luck enough to still have both of my parents and I think they're working on number 65 !!! Not many matched sets like that around these days :)

    Life is a lesson...., and it looks like you're learning it well.....But, I'll be damned if you don't make it difficult sometimes. :woohoo:

    3 inches of rain last night. Have you considered hiring the self proclaimed "Love God" to help you with your problems.
    Did your girlfriend e-mail you? :woohoo: :woohoo:

    Just a suggestion, get the non-serrated blade for your slicer and you'll be much happier with the thin slices you get with beef, ham, and turkey.

    I have the serrated blade and only use it for bread and cheese.

    Well worth the $25 in my opinion.

    Mike,

    How is the maple/beef combo? I've only ever used the maple for pork. I'll try it if you give it a thumbs up.

    Thanks!
