I'm not exactly sure what this is but saw it at the supermarket tonight and picked up a cryopak. Apparently it is supposed to be super cheap but then again I'm in Canada. Planning on smoking it on my Traeger Pellet Grill. Any tips? I was thinking of just applying my usual favourite rub and smoking it for about a good six hours.

Post a photo of it. Ideally the package so we can see what it really is (assuming it is correctly labeled).
Unfortunately, a lot of the time these random cuts of meat without an official name are tough pieces of meat. I've seen eye round sold as "steak", which it certainly is not.

It's too late to post a pic of it raw - it's been on the smoker since 9 a.m. I tried a "finger" just now though figuring four hours should be enough to test and first impression is that it is greasy and bland.

I did some searching... seems to be a Canadian thing :)
It's the meat between beef rib bones, looks like 4 or so hours at 250F is the recommended cooking. Good luck, and let us know how it turn out!

A cousin used to bring that finger meat to family reunions. He cooked it for hours in a crockpot in his homemade bbq sauce. It was damned good. He had lived in Detroit for a number years and picked up a taste for the stuff there. I don't know if it was his sauce or that slow multi-hour cook, but I always hit him up for some leftovers...and a qt. jar of that sauce.

I did a little digging on this stuff and found out it's very popular in Chinese restaurants as "boneless ribs". Who knows how they fix it, but the Chinese are pork eating fools. They eat everything but the "oink" and they're working on that.
