A little over a year ago the manager at GFS waved me over to tell me about a markdown. He knows I like smoking and a deal lol. He had ordered a case of chuck flap by mistake and had them cleared out for $1.99 / lbs. Of course I had no choice but to buy them. They seem to be rarely available retail but what I gather is they are often sold as boneless beef rib. I was doing a cool for a friends part so figured I may as well toss these in. Nothing fancy for this nice beefy cut. Rubbed with 1:1:1:1 coarse salt and pepper , granulated garlic and onion. Once the salt made a nice slurry on the surface dusted eith Bustelo espresso. Smoked in the Lang with cherry and oak mix. Run about 275-300 for the cook. I did wrap and braise a little from 175 to finish temp of 203F. Into the cooler for an hour. Beefy, tasty and tender, especially for a select grade cut.

Wow Jeff, that looks absolutely incredible!! Did you Photoshop that smoke ring in there? :emoji_laughing: JK of course but I've NEVER seen a smoke ring like that. Excellent job buddy. Looks like you and the Lang have become really good friends.

Thanks all! The smoke ring is something that baffles me at times. I understand the science behind it but sometimes it’s just better than other times with not much of an explanation. I have started to put things in the smoker cold straight out of the refrigerator and do spritz some but nothing a lot. On this smoke I did run a little heavier smoke but all clean blue.
 
Jeff! That smoke ring is incredible my friend!

What a fine looking bunch of meat....hold the phone I'll be right there as I am sure you have a few leftovers for a fellow buckeye. :emoji_wink:

GREAT BIG LIKE!
