More chuck and sweets

I was in the grocery store really early this morning when I spotted this chuck marked down to less than half the normal cost. $9 bucks. So I took it home, rubbed it with a java rub, through it over some Stubbs charcoal really low and went to work. Later in the afternoon I added a couple sweets. removed it at 200 degrees, let it rest, pulled and ate. Sorry no grill pics, but I did use my kettle, "Shaun Method."

Pulled



Plated on fresh roll with Famous Daves Texas Pit sauce. My favorite.

 
Hi Brian, the tips are still in good shape after about five uses. But I do see how they could get out of shape. If they melted the meat must have been really hot still. I do at least an hour rest and as much as three to four at times. So it does cool a little. They really need to start making metal ones.

Mac, believe it or not I bought this chuck at Safeway. I had to get milk for my son before work and I decided to check the meat aisle. Normally I buy meat at Costco.

By the way I tried some whiskey barrel chips that were given to me for this cook and the oak really penetrated well. You can see the pink in the pictures a little. I also used a mesquite honey from TJ's on the potatoes.

Compared to Jim and some of the others plates mine looks pretty boring. I need to work on my sides a little. It's just that I can't eat that much.

Shaun, I assume this was a chuck roast? I've never done pulled beef before but looks great. Sounds like you cooked low and slow - 225-250 maybe? Did you cook to a certain internal temp or just until tender? How long did it take? Thanks.
 
Hi Russell, I cooked around 275-325 degrees. It was 103 at my home yesterday, so it ran hot. I pulled it at 200 and it took about five hours. I used Stubbs and it worked well. Good stuff.
