I found a pretty good DEAL on Chuckie meat other day.




Rubbed the left one with my K.C. rib rub-other with salt,pepper and some of my minced de-hydrated garlic and couldnt resist sprinkling on some of my cayene powder....





Put them on smoker with a little Bitternut hickory(like Pecan) and red oak

Was nice smelling this smoking below on patio as i stained my 40'x14' deck i built 4 years ago





Put the rubbed chuckie in drip pan at 160ish with onions( for au jus) to keep meat 1/4 inch above juice and some low-sodium beef broth and foiled.











Took this one in pan to 205 degree and rested 2 hours





The naked chuckie was pulled at 190 and rested 2 hours.I will cube and put in my ceramic stew pot with lots of garden veggies and red potatoes etc. tomorrow-plus some of au jus...




Didnt cut against the the grain perfectly, or try, but the 190 was medium tender and will be great cubed in stew





Rubbed chuckie was pulled and put in au jus with the onion and a little more beef broth







Little cheese and they were excellent.Minimal work-on the chuckies..Will do again
 
W T F ?? What's the price on those chuckies again??!!

Que view looks awesome, great job!
 
Great looking chuckie Alex. Beautiful color with the addition of your cayenne powder. If those tasted even half as good as they looked then

Can't wait to see how the cubed chuckie turns out in your stew.
Nice looking deck you built, must be great to sit out there overlooking the garden and smelling the smoke.
 
Those look terrific ALX...

No it was fine.I have cooked alot of brisket(similiar to cuck)-two for every comp and my sis and i practice alot and swap experiences.

If you were to cut the fat bands out and cut against the grain it would be fine on a sandwich.I would caution that no 2 pieces of meat are the same- so this cut might have been a little more tender...I love my stews
 
I found them monday.Couldn't believe my luck, so time for first chuckies.

Will do this again with one 3-4 pounder.Excellent cut for smoking.
 
Looks nice and good job picking out those packs. I once got some veal chops for $.09 a lb, there were 8-9 packs but I only bought 5, didn't want to draw to much attention.
 
Man that chuckie looks fabulous and really good too. I like that sliced one looks yummy but then you have the pulled with cheese all you need now is the slaw and your in heaven. I really like that deck nice job on it but one thing I think I would re-stain the whole thing the same color. Just kidding nice job so far.
