    Chuck roast yesterday

    Thanks for all the compliments, I learned it all here. Last night the bark around the edges was a little dry and hard, and I was thinking maybe foil would be better than double paper wrapping. After it sitting in the fridge overnight and reheated today, the bark is super moist and tasty...

    Chuck roast yesterday

    I haven’t had time to run my smoker as often as I’d like lately, but put a 4lb chuck on yesterday. SPOG with some paprika, cooked at 270 with oak and mesquite. That pic below is at 165 it, took it off at about 205. It was on the smoker for about 10 hours.

    Masterbuilt MES 30C - wood chip tray rests on heating element

    This is a “something I learned today” post. I’m going to try cutting wood like this, or at least try using a large single block.

    Time for another Chuck Roast on the WK

    chuck roast was a pleasant surprise when I started smoking :emoji_relaxed: I assumed all I'd do was ribs/briskets/pork shoulders, and finding a packer brisket locally wasn't easy for a few years.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    One of my probes got fried testing this. The videos I've watched had people using some type of infrared digital thermometer that goes to 1500 degrees.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    New England, I'm going to ask some woodworking friends about it.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    I've never heard of that, and from a quick google it's super expensive. Hopefully lump charcoal and/or oak does it.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    Something good happens to the yogurt at 900 =/- so that temp is my goal. Opening the holes is definitely the next step if lump or wood doesn't get the temp up enough. I'll probably end up using some oak with lump charcoal next.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    I may try that if regular lump doesn't get it hot enough.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    They should get to 900. This is a bit bigger than most I've seen from diyers and the briquettes didn't get hot enough. I agree a basket of lump may get it hotter, so I'm going to try that.

    Which woods burn hottest?

    I built a tandoor oven and don't think it's getting to the proper temp, I've been using briquettes and it looks like I'd need a much larger charcoal holder. Lump charcoal burns hotter so I may try that, but I read some tandoors are fired with wood. Oak probably makes sense for this, but I'm...

    Need help to get lighter smoke flavor - Confirm which woods, and length of smoke changes?

    Hickory has a strong flavor, mesquite is strong too. From your list, I’d try all apple.

    Hanging two racks of St Louis Ribs today

    Cut up some cherry hickory and oak, dry rubbed with SPOG and paprika. I’ll brush some sauce on near the end. Just waiting for that white smoke to go away
