I went to Costco tonight and picked up a chuck roll. Had to ask at the counter and they brought out a 21 lb monster. I couldn't say no, of course, and I'm looking forward to the cook.
My question is this: should i try to cook the thing whole, or cut it into 2 ten pound roasts? I've read on here that a 20+ lb roll can take 24 hrs or more, even with foiling. That scares me a little, and I don't want to screw up this big boy.
Some other threads have suggested cutting it, some not...but I'm torn...
