Poor Man's Brisket

[Rick P]

This one took forever.
I'm talking, 12 hours for a 3.9lb chuck roast on the WSM.
Avg temp in the smoker was ~240°, and I wrapped after a good bark formed, at ~160° internal.
Just one of those weird cooks. It turned out good though

I usually cook them to +200 degree's internal & then I shred it!

I took it to 195° and sliced it.

It isn’t “poor man’s” brisket. It’s “small family” brisket.

A Chuck roast brisket style is on my short list as I’m usually only grilling or smoking for the wife and myself.

That looks great!

Looks really good. Got to try that, with just the wife and me a full brisket is just too much.

That is what the vacuum sealer is for;-)

Yep, I'm well versed on the vacuum sealer, that's why we had to go from a 14 cf. freezer to a 20+cf. freezer. You can freeze it but at some point you have to use it. All three freezers are full, so Barb and I have decided to stop buying even though there are great sales and Barb gets a huge discount at Safeway. Time to use up what we already have even though in today's world getting T bones for under $4.00 a pound is a screaming deal.

We are in the same situation. Slowly going through the freezer and trying to resist sales for a while.
