A Beef Round Sirlion, a little under 11 lbs

Keeping it simple - Kosher Salt, Pepper, granulated garlic, and a little cayenne for some kick

On to the MAK @225F with Cookingpellets perfect Mix

About 7 hours later, I boated it with some Onions, Mushrooms and a generous amount of Merlot. I then covered with foil and back onto the MAK.

About 2 hours later, I rested the roast and poured what was left in the pan into a pot on the stove to reduce a bit

I sliced it and served with the sauce, thickened a little with some cornstarch.

It was excellent. The Bark had excellent bite and the interior was tender and juicy. I started out looking for a Burgundy wine (Beef Burgundy ala MAK was what I wanted to call this), I went with the Merlot ( a 2009 Woodbridge)

FLB,
You're killing me! That looks, and sounds, wonderful. I will be traveling off and on for the next couple of weeks. I may have to have a go at your Merlot Beef.

What temp did you boat and pull at, or did you go by time only?

It was somewhere in the 170's when I boated it, and I forgot to check the temp after boating, it was time to serve. I could probably gone another couple of hours. I meant to get it in early (like sixish) but that was not in the cards, it was more like 8ish.
