So, here’s that five lb chuckie
Tie and waiting
Dry rub applied
On the smoker
After a couple of hours
Off the smoker and getting ready for a bath
In the hot tub
Out of the tub
First cut
A slice or two, just to sample
On the smoker at 235 degrees for 3 1/2 hours. I. The hot tub at 140 degrees for 21 hrs. Good flavor, the smoke held up. Texture like roast beef or steak. I think if I wanted shred it I might have given it another 4 to 8 hours. Pretty happy for first big chuckie.
