First, please excuse the picture quality of these photos. I was working with my left/wet hand and taking pictures with my right/dry hand using an iPhone (I know, no excuse but all I got).

Bought a couple of Chucks at the local store. First thing I did was run my tenderizer all around the roasts

Then I covered them with some regular mustard

Next, because I love garlic and the rub (IMHO) doesn't have enough, I coated it well with some Garlic Powder.

Then for that really good pepper taste I covered it with the Grill Masters Montreal Steak rub.

I then put it in the MES set to 225° F and used some Mesquite chips dry.

Smoked for the first 4 hours and then continued in smoker without chips for

the last 2 hours until it reached 145° F. This is what I ended up with. It has a

slight mustard taste with a strong (and wonderful ) garlic and pepper taste

with the hint of Mesquite smoke flavor.

I know I should have included a picture of them sliced but they didn't last long with all

the people I had over that day. They was one large one and one medium one and they

disappeared faster than I thought. I almost didn't get any by the time I came back in

from shutting down the smoker and retrieving the temp. probe. Maybe next time I should

just worry about the smoker and probe AFTER I get a sliced pic. and eat!

Thanks for looking, Scott

Looks real good Scott, but it sounds like you didn't hit the 140 mark in 4 hours, but I guess everything turned out ok.

No it didn't reach the 140°  mark in 4 hours but it did reach the 135°  mark in that time which is the new recommendations set which is 41° to 135° within 4 hours. Then it got stuck at the 140° mark for quite some time before it finally started moving  up again to reach the 145°  I was waiting for.
