I had so much luck with my first chucky. That it was a given that I'd be doing it gain.

First time using this rub. It was pretty good. Though, I've had better. Gave it a good rub. And let it sit overnight. Then in a pan with a can of beef broth.

Into the smoker at 225 with hickory pellets in the tray. Went to 208 to get probe tender.

Pulled beautifully.

Put in a saute pan with a Tbs of butter. With a can of mushrooms and the drippings. I removed some of the grease.

The original plan was to serve it over German potato dumplings. But the store was out of mix. I'm just going to start doing them homemade. They're easy enough to do.
So, Ann had hers on fries. I had mine on tater tots.
The side dish is something called "Ruined beans" How they are cooked pretty much destroys any nutritional value. I guess this is a family thing. It has been in the family for at least 100 years so I'm told.
You take 4 pounds of fresh green beans. Trim, cut in half, clean. And put in a dutch oven or slow cooker. And a large white onion roughly chopped. And 1 pound of cooked, crispy bacon. Fill the dutch oven with enough water to just cover the beans. Then add 1/4 cup of the bacon grease. Pepper. And add 4 Tbs of salt. That is a lot of salt. But it is so good! Let it go on a med high simmer until the beans are pretty much falling apart. About 5 hours usually.

Not the prettiest thing for sure. But they are delicious!
 
Good looking meal Steve!! Looks like chuck roasts were quite popular yesterday in the forum. Gona have to try those beans, that's a given. Love green beans and add bacon, even more to love. Great job sir and a big LIKE!!

Robert

Thanks Robert! The ketchup was put out by Ann. At first she was just going to have ketchup on her fries. She changed her mind. I put a few dashes of malt vinegar on the beans.
 
That looks great, looked for 1 yesterday but the only 1 I seen didn't look good to me, I did pick up a almost 5lb pork loin wrapped in bacon, trying to decide how long it might take at about 180 on the pellet burner. Would trade some lol

That's one fine piece of work right there Steve, big Like! I was thinking when I first saw that chucky there'd be some spinach or sprouts on the side, those ruined beans look to be a far better compliment. Just a beautifully balanced meal that I'd be thrilled sitting down to. Of course I'd have a glass of cab to go with it! RAY

Thanks Ray! I'd have those beans more often. But it only works this swell with fresh beans. Frozen aren't quite as good. If I couldn't have found beans, then it would have been spinach.
 
Man that looks awesome Steve! Gonna have to try them beans, sound awesome...might serve them with a side of cholesterol pill.

Dang Steve , that looks pretty tasty. Been wanting to get a chucky to pull for quite some time . Must be the hot ticket around here. Don't get to the grocery store often, but none on the shelves when I do.
