Hey there folks.. well i did it.. my first smoke of the season...with a few hitches of course...i had to call my butcher in LA to find out what they might call a chuck roll here in NY.. well something like a neck roll or neck chuck. i got one.. i had him cut it to just 15 pounds.. having about 10 ppl over tonight.. well this is my story and with a question
I put it on at 1am..royal oak and 4 chunks of hickory with #2rub...Set it with the guru at 220 and nutemps...it went great until it starteed pouring...oh wait a sec, let me back up..i forgot to tell you that when i went ot put the guru on ..the wires were cut...the probe for the temp for the pit was cut in half...so i freaked ...but then i went and found it.. i spliced the wires and twisted them together and they workedback to the cooking...well so in the morning it was pouring.. didnt prepare for it and the guru and nutemps got drenched...um ya guru isnt working well right now....so i disconected the guru at 8am and told my wife that whenthe temp drops to put it in the oven at 220....around 11am she put it in the oven at 220 where it is still there now.....
so it was in the wsm for 10 and in the oven for about 5....i have two nutemps stickin out of the oven . one watching oven temp and the other the meat.. the meat has been at 157 for the last few hours.. i will be eating at 9pm tongith......thats in five hours....
QUESTION. when do you thinkk i should foil and wrap it....how long foiled do you think itll take to get to 190 from 160.....and i can always put it in a cooler for a few hourse.. whata ya think ....foil now or wait another hour or so....
