Help with chuck roast cross rib

[Yjaytom]

I am finding conflicting info on how to cook this. I’ve searched and people say to cook to an IT of anywhere from 135 to 209. I want to slice it. Please advise.

If you're going to slice it, definitely do not go as high as 209. You'd only go that high if you want to shred it.
If you like medium rare, take it off when it gets to 125 and let it rest for awhile before you slice it.

Thanks for the response. I thought when I used to do them I would pull them at 135, but my searches on this forum were all over the place. I remember doing cross rib roasts, but this one also says chuck so I wasn’t sure if that was something different.

You're welcome. Post some pictures when you're done. I have a cross rib roast in the freezer. I'd like to see how yours turns out.

Pulled it at 4:15. Had a heck of a time with fluctuating temps in the new smoker. IT of 144. Resting now in foil and towels.
