Preheat your Traeger (or any pellet smoker) to 250 degrees. While the pellet smoker heats up, remove the roast from the plastic bag. Take a knife and insert it 4-5 times in the roast halfway through. Insert your cloves of garlic into these wholes. Add a final layer of course black pepper to the fat cap.

Take the mixture and spread it with your hands over the roast until the outside is well covered. Place the bottom round roast in an oven safe skillet and put it in the oven. Reduce the heat in the oven to 475 ° F and roast for 7 minutes per pound. Now turn off the oven and leave it for an hour without opening the oven door.
Remove the beef roast from its original package and give it a good sprinkling of coarse salt and pepper. Add the roast to a gallon zip lock bag and place it back in your refrigerator for 4-10 hours. The salt will draw out moisture, mix with the salt and reabsorb into the beef. This step helps make this cut of beef a bit less tough.
