Beef Roast cook question

[PappaOscar]

I have a 5lb-ish beef roast wanting to smoke on the ceramic. I would like it to be rare to medium rare. Never done beef roast before.
Should I cook it like a tri tip? Was thinking about 250* for 3hrs until IT it 140*.
What say you brethern?

On a side note: This is from a black angus steer I bought, and processed it ourselves 2 weeks ago. Man there is a lot of beef in there!

Depending on how rare you like it 115- 125 for rare 125-130 for med rare 130- 140 Med well

looks great!

I would go 125-130

it will rise just a bit while resting. I think 140 is going to put you over our target doneness

Rare center you're going to want to pull that roast at 110 or so, 140 w/carry over will get you well done.

And that's why I ask... Would have sucked to blow through the temp on this thing.
Thanks guys:wink:

I agree with the gang. I'd take it to 125 max. Carry over will take it up 5-10 degrees.

Okay this is 131* IT @250 for 3 hours. Added a little bacon, onion and 'shrooms in the middle. Good flavor.
Wife wanted me to throw it back on until it quit mooing.
