I've got a 3 1/2 lb rump roast I'd like to cook up this weekend. I have a Genesis gas and a WSM. Someone almost has me talked into a rotisserie for my Genesis, so I was leaning toward marinating it in something, (motor oil, unicorn tears, chemical waste) and trying out my as-yet-unpurchased rotisserie.
However....feel free to persuade me to do something else.
TwoWheeler, I'm not Positive but I think you can find better choices in Marinades? You might want to start in the AR Recpie Section! You might also want to take a Gander at ABC.Com, Adrenaline BBQ Site, they have a good Recipie Selection for Beef Roasts! I know I would start With a Dry Brine of Kosher Salt for 24-36 Hrs. Then the Rub of your choice!

If you google "rump roast on weber rotisserie" you'll get a bunch of hits ... some of which look pretty good. It seems like rump is treated much like chuck (plenty of info on chuckies here).
It's a hunk of beef that ain't brisket. Dry brine then rub with what pleases you (Old Bay and black pepper is a good start). Throw it in the smoker at 250 give or take until it reaches 130. Enjoy.
Chuck, rump, etc., cook fantastic on a rotisserie. The rotisserie I have would need to be modified to fit my Akorn, and being kind of busy currently, I don't use it. Even without the rotisserie, chuck and rump roast cook so well on the grill.
I do them 2 different ways:
Low and slow and long, like a brisket or
Not so low and cook to temperature(130ish).
Either way, as boftx said above: "It's a hunk of beef that ain't brisket." He's right.
