Hello all,
I have at this point never made a batch of burnt ends. I've been looking at the recipes using chuck roast to do this. I want to make some for a Father's day gathering, but there is no way I can do the entire smoke session that day. My question is: Can I smoke the roasts the day or two before and then finish cooking on Sunday. My thoughts were to smoke until IT of 190-195, rest for an hour, then cube the meat an throw in the fridge. Then on Sunday throw the cubes in a pan with sauce and rub to finish the cook. Anyone done this or think the process wouldn't work? Or would I be better off to put the roasts in the fridge whole, and cube up right before cooking again?
