Step 2

Trim excess fat from the roast. If desired, cut slits into the meat and add garlic cloves, a light coat of olive oil and season the roast with your choice of dry rub or other seasonings.

Step 3

Place the roast into the smoker. Baste with juices or red wine vinegar every hour until the meat has reached a desired level of doneness. Carefully remove the roast from the smoker and transfer to a platter.

Tip

Meat will smoke more evenly when allowed to warm to room temperature prior to placing in the smoker. For best results, choose a smoker that features a water tray to provide moisture. Resist the urge to open the smoker. This will reduce the temperature inside. Allowing the roast 10 minutes to rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute through the meat.

Warning

Do not leave a smoker unattended.
