Smoked Chuck

[ChuckO]

So I picked up this lil Chuck thinking it would be 4 hours max. Well after 7 hours at 250, I covered it up and cranked the grill to > 300

I pulled it at 200 figuring it would be tender (no I didn’t probe, it was past 9 PM and I was over it. It tasted good but wouldn’t pass the bendy test, probably would have aced the plank test, lol

Today I cut it up and made a stir fry out of it, and it was great

Yep, smaller ones are more difficult, they just hate cooking within reason!
I think I’d go 275+ and let it ride but, it could still be six hours easily! I’m thinking about one I have in the freezer, I SPOGed one and spun it for about four hours basic indirect so nearer 300-350 (decreasing temp as coals dwindle) for a “Fire’s Out” cook. Turned out pretty well, I think I’ll do a double cook for next weekend, smoke it and braise for Birria burrito bar night with the kids! They are easy, finish the beef off in the crock pot.

Sorry about your chuck, Chuck ( looks good!)
Price per # is nuts lately.

Chuck, it all looks great man. That stir-fry looks fantastic.

Yeah, sticker shock.

I thought a fin per # was high but I said the same about a pack of cigs and they're like what, 12 bucks now.

Holy schnokies. Are you serious?! Last time I smoked a cigarette they were around $3/pack. Dayum.

I didn’t realize that the smaller, the more difficult, but after you said this, quick search says God’s Truth. I love the flavor of smoked Chuck, the next time I am going to smoke it to 160/170 and then I’m going to drop it in a braise.

I’m not upset about the results, I just didn’t anticipate the time required. Sad thing is that I ended up in the store again today and the chucks were $2 a pound cheaper

Looks good. I loved smoked chuck roast too.

I absolutely love the looks of that meal, Chuck. The fried rice had me salivating.

Nice cup yah hippie!!!!!
Let it be known.......all my chuck roasts take much longer than I think they will.......cooler time never hurts so I just started getting them on asap in the morning...
I usually go for pulled beef.....leftovers work well too.

Yikes 7 plus hours, a few adult sodas hopefully eased your pain..
