Thank You Brian!!!

And Thanks for the Point !

That Mesh thing is an upside down SS Sink Strainer---Keeps Bugs from going in my top vent.

Rick,

If you look closely you'll see that mine only went from 148° to 160°, from 12:00 to 2:30.

That's 12° in 2 1/2 hours.

Then I foiled it, and it went from 160° to 200°, from 2:30 to 4:15.

That's 40° in 1 3/4 hours.

Thanks to your reposting of your step by step, I'll be trying my 2nd chucky in two weeks. I'll download and print out your step by step to use for reference.

Thanks Rick!!

This isn't actually a Repost. This is a completely NEW Step by Step, and it might be an easier one to follow, because my other 2 Chucky Step by Steps in my Index are from 2010 and 2011, and I think I got better at covering all the details since then.

Thanks for letting me know. Just to make it easier for me to find I bookmarked the page so I can refer to it in a couple of weeks.

Dang that looks good!

I have dropped the ball and let a couple of chuckys die in the crock pot at the hands of others.

I still have a few in the freezer fortunately.

My wife and I each have become adept at cooking chuck roasts in Crock Pots and Dutch ovens. I've found that sometimes you bring home a boneless chuck roast that looks really good in the package but fails to fully render during cooking and so it still comes out a little tough. I've never understood how that happens but a supermarket butcher once showed me how to choose a good brisket. Some parts of the shoulder are better than others.

You have to set up a good Zone Defense right in front of the Crockpot !!!

This just makes me want to go to sleep now and wake up tomorrow so I can get my Chucky going faster... I'll follow most of the same step, but I will add in pre-running the night before, give me something to do later...other than make smoked burgers for dinner tonight. I use a foil pan as well, and a perforated pan sits just right on top without falling through.

I'm going for a 3-4# as well, whatever I can find at the store... I'll do some Q-view and post up my results from tomorrow on Sunday...

Hope it looks half as good as yours does!

Hey Bear, looking good as always! I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I love that square wire rack you got. Where did you find a square one and about what are the measurements? That thing fits perfectly in that disposable pan. Gotta get on the Amazon and find me one! Might do my first chuckie this weekend.

I still fear the Chucky. I've only tried smoking one once and it was a nightmare. But I plan to get back on that horse and ride it victory, most likely next summer. I don't do much smoking during the winter.
