Roast How To?

Green Q'r

A neighbor has ask me to prepare a 5lb roast for a Memorial Day feast. Since I have never tried this on my large egg the question is "How". Do I do it similar to a butt or since it's beef should it be done hotter and quicker?

Green Q'r,[p] It depends on the roast and what you want it to look like when you're done. If you want it pullable, get one with some fat in it and cook it like a butt. It you want to try and slice it, you'll need a better cut of meat -- then you should sear the outside then cook at around 300-350 until the internal temperature is where you want it. You can also use a dutch oven and braise it on the BGE with some vegetables and liquid.[p]MikeO
