Finally jumped into the pool with the retooled ECB after weeks of soaking up info here. Followed Bears tutorial on the chuck, thanks Bear, and was quite happy with the results and only freaked out a coupla times during the process with the temp regulating. 3.5 #'er took about 6.5 hours with me doing my best to keep it around 250 degrees. Had to hold it in the barely on oven for about 1.5 hours till chow time but it was still pretty tender. Thanks to everybody here for the great info passed around & encouragement for the FNG's. Think I have a new addiction.....
