Smoked Pot Roast

[Preacher Man]

Found chuck roasts for $1.99/lb, so I bought 5 roasts ranging from 5-7 lbs.


About 11 a.m. I got a hankering for pot roast. It was always my dad's go-to dish for Sunday dinners and I hadn't had one in years.

Sprinkled a 7 pounder with SPOG and a little paprika.


I knew I was going to be pressed for time, so I couldn't go as low and slow as normal. Cranked my MES 30 up to Max (275°) and filled my Amazen Tube with a mix of oak and mesquite.

Meanwhile, I headed to the brewery for a cold one with a friend. It was a Tropical IPA. Not bad, but I should've stuck with my regular Smoke Chaser Porter.


Came home right as my tube was sending out its last puffs of smoke, about 4 hours. So I took it inside and laid it on top of a bed of carrots, onions, taters, and celery. I added a cup of garlic broth and a few dashes of worcestershire. The IT was 158° at this point.


Supper was in 3 hours, so I covered it and cranked the oven to 380°. In about 3 hours it was tender at 208°. While resting, my daughter wanted to saute up some garlic cauliflower.

Supper was delicious!


Afterwards, I collected all the juice and made au jus a la Bearcarver . I've never injected a brisket, but anyone care to guess what I'm doing with my next brisket?

Thanks. However, I think I might have to say that the highlight of the meal was my kid's garlic cauliflower. That kid can seriously cook!

That's what I thought on the price! I have found more deals on meat at my local Albertson's than anywhere else. Just last week I scored a 9 lbs bone in pork butt for $.49/lb.

Thanks Chile!

Hopefully that brisket will be happening soon. But I seem to be having this problem. You see, I think I like smoking more than I like eating, so I tend to smoke things faster than I can eat them. As a result, I have a freezer/fridge that's plum full of stuff that needs to be eaten.

Maybe I should have a good ol' fashioned "leftovers day" like my grandma used to do when she would clean out her freezer/fridge. She'd invite all the family over to pretty much potluck their meals with whatever she had reheated.

Thanks, Bear!

I gotta say, with all the ideas that you have put into my brain from this forum, I'm pretty much at full capacity. And I haven't even read through 1/3 of your index.

Sounds like you need to invite a bunch of family and friends for a BBQ Bash.

What a coincidence? I bought a small but nice chuck roast yesterday. Going to throw it on the Yoder after while. Your's sure looks good Preacher! Point!

 

[Winterrider]

Holy crap, meat prices like that I would have to get another freezer just for the uncooked/smoked meats.
Great looking meal .

I haven't seen that price on chuckies in over two years. A great big like for the pics and the smarts to load the freezer. I'm headed to the store shortly. We'll see what the local price is on chuck roast at my discount grocer.

I looked this Am, $5.89/lb yuck...

Thanks Disco! It was your chili post that gave me the hankering to get this roast going.

Marvelous! Hope it turns out good.

That's not a bad problem to have!

Thanks for the like! I've always wondered if the prices I found are specific to locality or if chains carry these prices throughout?

This is for you Bearcarver ! Sliced some roast up thin and made a sammich with horseradish-mayo and fresh sliced jalapeno.

That looks awesome! Definitely some inspiration material. I've got a chuck roast I'm waiting to try, but it's been so stinking cold here every weekend (10*) that I haven't got out there yet. Nice work!
