Operation Birthday chuck roast

[wanna-be-smoker]

is a success. I Was going to take it to the 203 range but decided to slice it and pulled it out at 199. It sliced great but still was borderline pull-able and was cut with a fork tender.

Seasoned with Barnyard pimp and the rub was off the charts good. Heck I even put it on my corn/potatoes and cottage cheese. It was cooked with a mix of Maple/Hickory and cherry pellets

Chuck can be very difficult to get right but that beefy flavor is so worth it. Looks fantastic. Nice work!

Usually i will cook it for pulling and in the 203 range but today we decided that we were hungry and did not want to wait and were going to slice so i pulled it at 199. Which is higher than i would let it go for slicking but it was still super juicy/tender and was in the cooker 13 hours.

My cooks seem to go longer than many folks cooks but i usually dont stress it and just relax.
