• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Made a BBQ eye round tonight. First time.

And definately not the last.

got a 7-8# eye round this week. tonight was supposed to be a salmon night but did up the roast instead. Rubbed it down with head country and some montreal steak seasoning. let it sit while i fired up the kettle. half chimney of charcoal and some chunks of mesquite and cherry.

Seared it real quick over the hot coals for a minute or 2 each side, then cooked it at 250-260. Foiled it at 155 and returned it to the kettle. It took about 2.5 hrs to reach 183. We couldnt wait any longer to eat, so it got sliced at about 185 after a 20 minute rest. It was GRRREatTT. I think if it woulf have gone to 190-195 oin some low heat, it would have been fall apart tender. At 185, it was juicey but ya needed a knife still.

Gonna get another one this week & try cookin it like a brisket. Think another 60-90 mins in the heat would've made it even better.
 
Sounds good! Does it have any fat on it? Or are you using a bacon wrap or just mopping often?? I'd be afraid of eye of round drying out.
 
had a thin fatcap on it, but i kept spraying it with apple juice.
