The roast was donated by non-cooking friends for a potluck this week. I
said I'd cook it. It's huge. I'm not even sure how many pounds this is.
It's labelled "rump roast" and measures about 8 or 9 inches square, being
5" thick at one end and 3" at the other. Any suggestions for cooking
times? I've never done a roast this large before and I'm concerned about
either cooking it too long and having it dry out (esp that thinner end) or
not getting it cooked enough before dinner (7pm Thursday)

No matter what kind of instructions you read, you should still own a meat
thermometer. And, don't forget that you might have a copy of "Joy of
Cooking" collecting dust somewhere in the house.
