I've used both the oven and the smoker. I swore after using my smoker that I would never "cheat" with the oven again. You know why so many recipes call for so much liquid smoke? It's because that's the only way oven guys get that "smoked flavor". Top round works fine, I try to slice mine 1/4"-3/8". I usually end up thicker, but that's not always bad.
If you have a hankerin' for beef jerky now, look here:

This stuff is as close to my beef jerky as I've seen, and by that I mean kicks my jerky's ass to pieces. It's real man shit, for sure.
If you think Jack Link's make some good stuff, prepare to have your entire world shattered.
