I just took my new smoker out the box today and would like to try a smoked sirloin roast to make some roast beef. What type of wood chips do you suggest for that? Also, if anyone has experience smoking a roast, what type of rub do you use? Any important steps pre smoking that I need to consider?

What smoker did you get? Is it pellet fed?

Here's a good one to try for a smoker: Traeger smoked sirloin pot roast

I like mesquite wood when using my electric smoker. Cherry or apple work well too. I just cooked a 10 lbs.
pork butt for 5 hours at 225 degrees. Took it out and finished in a glass dish covered with foil in the oven at 275 degrees for another 4 hours. It was like butter.
Most of the smoke from woodchips is gone in the first 90 minutes, so if you want a hard smoke flavor you will need to reload with chips. Good luck!!

Interested in the same. Bought a MB 30 on your recommendation on Black Friday. Smoked a chicken in it this morning and made a gumbo, and have a Boston Butt in it now. Looking for other ideas and roast beef sounds amazing!

Will do, it is preheating right now. I've never smoked anything before so I'm hoping for the best.

I did some searching and found a highly recommended dry rub mix that I applied this morning so we shall see

Dry rub


After about 2.5 hours at 230F, internal temp showed 135F. Wrappd in foil for 30 minutes to let rest.






Instead of water in the water pan, I put beef broth. The drippings from the roast made an awesome au jus.






My expectations were vastly exceeded. I didn't think it would taste this good. Tastes like a very good prime rib
