Step 1

Prep a smoker with wood or pellets according to manufacturer’s instructions, and preheat to 225°F.

Step 2

Stir the BBQ rub and chili powder together in a small bowl. Place the beef roast on a clean work surface and rub it all over with oil, then rub the seasonings over the oil, pressing down gently to ensure they stick.

Step 3

Place unwrapped roast in the smoker. Cook for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature at the thickest portion of the beef reaches 180-190°F.

Step 4

Remove smoked beef roast from the smoker and wrap in a layer of aluminum foil. Allow the meat to rest for about 30 minutes before slicing.
