Smkryng vs....the beast! Or just a chuck roast

[Smkryng]

I’ve smoked a lot of s&@? since I’ve joined this forum and most have went off without a hitch! Okay maybe I’ve had lil help from the smokin masters here, but this chuck roast, for Chucky burnt ends, was my biggest nemesis! THIS GUY! RIGHT HERE!

Unbelievable RIGHT!
Nope, completely believable!
Rubbed with Montreal Steak Seasoning (my favorite for beef)
Here it is at 10 hours IT of 190(after stalling at least twice once at 130 and once at 165)

Chopped!

Sauced and back on the smoke!

And!!!!

Put to bed(about time!) just like I need to be!

I didn’t research this cook nearly enough, and for some reason had it in my head that 3 lbs of meat wouldn’t be more that a 6 hour cook( nothing to base this off of, just pure speculation) 10 hours later and I have a new respect for a chuck roast and I can give you all my promise, next time I will be prepared!!

It looks good from the pic's you showed. 10hrs does seem like an awful long time to me. What temp did you smoke it at?

The chuck I did Saturday was on at 4PM (thinking 3hrs tops) did not hit 200F until 11:30PM. I started the UDS at 240F and the drippings at it at 300F when I pulled it off.

Testify Brother, Everyone thinks Brisket is what separates Men from Boys, but I am telling you its the Chuck Roast.

Had one kick my butt this weekend and Saturday's planned dinner was served Sunday night. And I knew better, wasn't my first Chuckie and it still kicked my butt.

I’m with ya on that! My first brisket went off without a hitch. Can’t say the same for this guy!
