Smoked Chuck Roast: Q-View

That looks amazing. Congrats & well done. How did it taste?

Thanks! It tasted great! The only thing I would consider is dialing down the salt from the two rubs I used - however, both AP rubs that I used had high salt bases, so that is what I would expect.

Used up some of the leftover chuck roast this evening in quesadillas. Just chopped, heated in the skillet, and then added to some freshly grated cheddar on some tortillas. Simple and tasty!

Good lookin' chuck.Congratulations on the carousel.

IT was showing 205*. It is now resting in a towel, in a cooler.

It rested for about 45 minutes after pulling it off.

There is no need to wrap/cooler unless you are holding temp to serve hours later.This further degrades the bark also.

Ah - thank you. I wandered if putting it in a cooler was necessary for a one hour hold. I’m trying to understand and get comfortable with holding meats.

So a one hour rest on the counter should still keep it warm? Or what would you suggest?

If serving the day it's cooked,which is rare for me,I rest 20-30 mins and slice/pull.I say this because I normally let it get cool to the touch,pull,vac seal and freeze for taco/burrito/chimichanga meat.

Thank you, and glad I could help. I really enjoy seeing the detail behind other folk's cooks, so thought I would share. Definitely try one out and let us know how it goes. Many different ways to approach a chuck roast.

Thank you! Keep us posted when you have the chance to do a chuckie. I think they are a great option for a nice piece of beef.
