Chuck Roast Finishing Temperature

[JackSark]

Mine are never tender enough for pulling until they hit 204 or 205 degrees.

What temperature are other people finding happiness?

Same with me. Around 206 here. Haven't done one in a long time.

A beautiful chuck roast spoke to me while standing at the butcher 3 weeks back. It lured me back into the game. I hadn't cooked in 2 years. After burning out my 14, I brought it up to around 202. It wasn't quite enough, but fabulous non the less. I've now burnt out a couple more grills and have been cooking on all my off days. Feels good to be back.

I go by feel, not temp. If your foiling the temp rises rather quickly but you need a certain amount of time at a certain temp to equal tender.
