Chuckie

[natej]

Greeting everyone

Ive picked up an 18lb chuck, cut in into 2 and going to hit the smoke tomorrow, i plan on smoking at 250 - 270 for pulled beef nachos, every chuck ive done ive foiled around 160ish.. do people ever go the whole cook without foil? Im considering trying no foil for this chuck but im not sure if it would dry out or not?

 

[dirtsailor2003]

I don't foil. Dry meats never been a problem.

Sounds like a long cook,looking good! I like bark as well but have normally panned chuckies with aujus or French onion soup.

 

[natej]

I never seem to get that mahogany colour coming through like alot of people on here, anyone have any tips? I usually smoke over lump with wood chunks

Well she turned out delish, pulled at 205 was probing tender.. ended up having to foil due to time

The wife made some salsa from tomato, red onion, jalapenos and coriander plus some spicy bbq sauce & guacamole, nachos went down a treat

Good on ya m8!

Hell of a Tex-Mex dish creation, especially in an area where it's almost impossible to come by Tex-Mex or Mexican food unless you make it yourself!

I had a hard time finding jalapenos, pinto beans, and tortilla chips in Melbourne back in 2008.  Once I figured it out where to locate the items I was in business! 

For flour tortillas I would sometimes just order whole Naan from an Indian restaurant next door and I solved that problem as well hahahaha.

Great job and keep it up!

 

[lemans]

I'm in.. nothing bad there!!!

Some things can be hard to find but nowadays the supermarket has basically everything.. we grow all our chilli peppers, coriander, tomatos and lettuces which helps!

Nachos! How'd I miss this one? Great looking dish!
