    Addicted. 5th smoke, chuck roast.. Off to a rough start

    Here is is shredded. Im sharing cause I was afraid to go as high as 215 but with the pan and liquid it worked out great. My first risk paid off and my guests were pleased.

    Addicted. 5th smoke, chuck roast.. Off to a rough start

    This was my first smoke but this is a rump roast. Smoked on grates til IT was 150 then placed in a pan with onions and a about 2 cups of chicken broth. Covered with foil and let it go back on the smoker till IT was at 215. It was very tender and shreddable.

Basically will smoke it a few hours then finish it in a covered pan with some liquid and onions and shred it...

    Do I really have to go with stainless steel hardware?

    Ok I got off my lazy a!* and went research a little. You're right zinc ain't to friendly. I'm going to a specialty bolt store after work today with a list and ill let them do the searching. S and l bolt Scott Louisiana. They always have anything you need and all you have to do is hand over a list.

    Lid doesn't fit so good!

    I put the ring on tight only on the rim and it is considerably better. So last night put the ring on the barrel rim with the lid on, .....so basically its locked like they come off the shelf when you buy them. I tightened it as much as I could. Maybe this will form the circle a little better...
