First Chuck Roast Smoke (Qview)

[birdman080]

I smoked my first Chuck Roast today. 3# Chuck. Seasoned with salt and pepper.

About 7 hours later, pulled out at an IT of 195°. For my first time, I wanted to try a sliced Chuck.

I did foil it in a pan with beef broth, with skewers poked through so the Chuck wouldn't sit in the rendered fat.

Sliced and plated with tater tots.

It had a really good smoke flavor, with a great beef taste. It was drying out and a little more chew than I would have preferred. But, overall, I am Happy with it for my first time as it was at least edible. [emoji]128523[/emoji]

Looks great. Good idea with the skewers and the broth for moisture.

I cut off a piece this morning and it tasted much better (although it was cold and just out of the refrigerator). I really don’t think I let it rest long enough last night.  The next time I do it, I am going to seal it up in a top and bottom layer of foil, like I did last night, and let it rest for a good hour or two.  All in all, I am calling a success.

Thanks for the comments!
