I was inspired by watching Cowboy Kent Rollins on YouTube that I bought an outdoor Dutch oven. I went and watched one of his latest videos to see what I should make first. It was a pot roast. I made it pretty much the same as his video with a few modifications.

It started by smoking a 2.5Lb chuck pot roast seasoned with SPG and cian pepper powder with Hickory and Mesquite until it hit a IT of 110F. I added in some jalapeno poppers since I had the smoke blowing.

The poppers came out great.

15 minutes before the meat was ready to move I lit up a chimney of lump charcoal. Then I placed it in a circle on the ground.
Next I loaded the dutch oven with onion slices under the chuck, poured in a box of beef stock, red potatoes quartered, two sliced jalapenos and 6 bay leaves.

The top was put on then I shoveled out the coals from the smoker and placed them on top. I later started another full chimney and placed the coals around and on the lid.

When the IT of the beef reached an IT of 180F I placed in the carrots.

I pulled the DO when the beef IT hit 205F. My wife had a couple of bites and said I have to make this again in two weeks when we have company over.

It tasted way better than I could have imagined and I will definitely make this again. Total time start to finish was 4 hours and 15 minutes. The plate.

Very nice. Coal cooking in a cast dutch oven is very forgiving to a certain degree.

I agree. What I found the most surprising is that the chuck roast held the smoke ring even after boiling in the beef stock for a couple of hours after being smoked. This is a slice of it after it was completed.

That looks great Chris,

I really like his videos and all his dogs, lol
He does a few with the DO and I always thought I should give it a try.

Yours looks perfect.

HaHa he is fun with his dogs. I have two myself that are also so spoiled in some ways but are also very well mannered when we have friends over. The only problem is they are too friendly and non dog people are shocked when my pups greet them.

Yes he is,

I think it is funny when a non dog person is greeted by a very friendly dog. They act as if it is Satan himself trying to touch or kiss them with his tail wagging. LOL
