    Need a quick chuck tip

    Oh yeah!  I checked it about 10 minutes ago.  IT was stuck at 216, but smoker temp was at 295 for over 45 minutes.  A quick peek, and two forks barely touched it before it started falling apart!  Very happy to finally get my pulled roast done correctly.  It's not resting wrapped, still in the...

    Need a quick chuck tip

    Nope not ready.  A bit to twist, but not yet falling apart enough to call done.  I'll let it go for a while, higher IT is ok because it was still very juicy.  The au jus in the wrap and the pan are doing their job... Figure 30 minutes or IT 225 for next check..   And burgers going in in 35...

    Need a quick chuck tip

    Well, it's at 208 IT, smoker at 295.  I don't want to open the foil tent and roast foil wrap to check it, but I also want to, to make sure it is pullable.  I know it will continue to tenderize and break down in the cooler rest, but I have high hopes for this roast.  It smelled so damn good when...

    Need a quick chuck tip

    Quick update...  had to help the wife with a few things, lost track of time.  IT now at 163, smoker at 248.  I'm going to go remove the water pan and rack the roast at about 300 for 15 minutes to bark it up if needed.  Then a quick wrap and in the the heat tent with au jus to get it up to 210...

    Need a quick chuck tip

    Thanks guys.  I might take it out and put it direct on the rack for a little bit to get some bark.  Then it can get put back in the foil pan to braise to finish around 205-215.  I think I'll do a double wrap method, with a good mini-tent wrap with au jus around the roast, and then placed in a...

    Need a quick chuck tip

    What an awesome day to smoke!  I hope the weather is as good for you as it is for me...about 77 degrees, low humidity, light breeze, few clouds.  Perfect day to get some smoke-a-rollin'! So I have this amazing chuck pot roast smoking away, IT 73, ST 232 and steady in the sunlight. It's in a...

    Pulling a chuckie today...maybe...

    And the wife has spoken...    No smoking for me today.  I've been "ordered" to properly rest my knee today.  I had a slight meniscus tear last week, and I figured I could get away with just tightening my brace...but she is not having it, not at all.  I suppose I should thank her, but I was...

    Pulling a chuckie today...maybe...

    So I woke up and got the idea to smoke and pull a chuck today.  I got nothing else going on, and I think if I can get my ass to the store soon, I can be home by 11am and have the roast on by 11:30.  I'm looking for a pull apart tenderness, with an au jus from the dippings.  I usually mix beef...

    Pulled Bottom Round Advice

    So about how long do you let it go for to get broken down enough to be pullable?  I'm thinking I may need to start adding an extra 2-4 hours for future smokes...  That would make for a long day, or I'll have to work on mastering overnight temp controls..

    Pulled Bottom Round Advice

    This was a learning experience, and a damn tasty dinner!  The misses made her insanely creamy mashed taters, and along a couple of beers it was just fantastic! Thanks for all the advice!  I'm still picking up little things here and there.  I will try a chuck roast for next time.  But this was...
