Small chuck (2.5 lb, plus 4 oz au jus injected) smoking for 4 hrs @ 250. Foil wrapped at 140 IT, now at 177. Should I add liquid? I want it to go to "falling apart" (190, 195, 200?).
Thank you. I used my needle to squirt 2 oz of au jus into the foil. That temp is climbing fast now, it's up to 192. I think I'll let it go until 200, and then wrap the foil package in a towel and put it in a cooler for a couple of hours.I always add liquid when I foil. Usually its my spritz I have been using. Never done chuck, but I take brisket to 205 if I want it falling apart. 190 for slicing.
It was looked too good to wait any longer. I'll do pics next time.Is it finished yet? Got any pics?
