Pulled Chuck and a Pastrami

[sandyut]

as promised the cook is tomorrow, but here are the prepped meats;
first - the corned beef that was soaked overnight to remove salt, then rubbed with a pastrami rub i made from a few recipes. 3.5lb ish
second is the chuck rubbed in Holy Cow. 4.0 lb

Planning to fire it up when ever i get up and cook till done. Probably run them at 180 (high smoke) for a while then crank it to 250. picked up some Guinness for the braising of the pulled chuck.

Pastrami was out first. I braised it after 170 to about 200. its so good and tender. I cut back on the pepper from the last one and the balance was perfect. the chuck it being stubborn...stay tuned.

Here is the chuck before being pulled...it was stuck at 205 on the rectec probe and the instaread was highly variable depending on the location and time was running out so its off now. a test pull with my BBQ fork say its ready soon as I can handle it and it rests a touch.
