Pulled beef

[Gregory R]

Between having a stomach bug and the weather not being the best I'd pretty much given up on any cooks this weekend. Started feeling better around mid morning today and thought, heck - why not. So I ran out and got a 3 Lb choice chuck roast and started getting things ready. Put in a full basket of KBB along with some hickory and pecan into the WSM. Started a small chimney and moved onto the meat. brushed on some Worcestershire and then rubbed it with Ray Lampe's BBQ Rub #67.



Got the roast on later than I would have liked, but oh well, it's a holiday weekend. WSM dialed in at 270 and everything was looking good - and then the rains came!! Luckily I had protected the iGrill just in case.




I was worried about the rain effecting the temp so came up with a good ol Redneck Awning. Gotta admit it worked great!!



Time for a little refreshment



This is where I chill out while the WSM does all the work.



3 Hours into it with an internal temp of 165



Foiled her up with a little Beef broth, Stubb's, Worcestershire and a splash of Apple cider vinegar for a little zip. Pulled it off the smoker at 205 and let it rest and hour and a half still wrapped.

A little blurry


Probably could have gone a little longer, but still tender and tasty mixed with the jucies from the foil.


Plated on a bun topped with a little slaw and some amped up Bush's beans and tater salad.


There's plenty, so come on and grab a plate . . .

I'd take you up on your offer, but I doubt there'd be any left by the time I made it up from tx

Your chilling spot is awesome. Chuck is the bomb, and an under-appreciated smoke meat.

NH is a beautiful state. I've only been once, but we sure enjoyed it.

I was looking for something new to smoke, thanks for the inspiration.

Love your pad, hope to have one like it someday, looking at the Mid Atlantic though, never been to the northeast but I know it's beautiful. I did purchase a Woodstock soapstone stove from up there though. Anyway, great looking cook, trying out my, new to me, WSM today. Doing a 6lb butt!!

Gregory between the umbrella, the cook, the beer and your "waiting room", you sir are my hero.

I have never tried to smoke a chuck before but after seeing those picks, I will have to put on my bucket list. And your zen place is amazing.
