my new friend chuck

[cflatt]

Finally found a decent butcher with chuck in stock. He cut me out a 9 lb boneless on tuesday but I had to fly out to NYC. Got in yesterday about 8:30 and fired up the wsm. Rubbed it with some S & P and then went about my day. foiled about 162 and pulled it off at 205. Waited a couple of hours then pulled .... this is certainly something I will cook again soon, what a wonderful flavor,

 

[Finney]

Yeah, that's good stuff.

That looks great Curtis! I have one bag of shredded chuck in the freezer and you just reminded me I need to cook more!! I love that stuff and it's great in burritos too!!

I'm with Larry on this one -- pulled chuck has a great flavor.

All this talk of Chuck got me to want to try one. The biggest I could find at the market is just 3.5LBs. As I understand it, a guy should Q it like a butt. Foil at 165 and pull at 200+?

I don't know about a butt (I don't foil them) but do it like you said which is how I do a brisket point.

 

[cflatt]

I dont foil my butts, but this was my first try with a chuck so I took Larry's advice (I am sure Finney taught him) but I wouldnt change a thing. Plenty of bark and a nice texture and flavor. I did chop it a but after I pulled it. Not sure how it would stand up to a pro, but when the wife says its the best roast she's ever had thats all that matters....the smoke is justified :grin:

 

[Green Hornet]

Looks good. Real good :grin: I want to try one too. Been in the mood for Beef lately :!:
Did you make sandwiches out of it or something else?

 

[cflatt]

made sandwiches and ate it plain last night. Kept enough out to eat on for a couple of days and vac sealed the rest for the freezer. going out to vegas in june and gonna take a sampler of different things for some friends there.

 

[Green Hornet]

Nice. I just got my Food Saver Sealer at BJ's. I just haven't had any leftovers to try it out yet

 

[Puff1]

Like Larry said........BURRITOS! =P~
