We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

A tale of 3 chuckies ???

I'm prepping three pieces of meat, all labelled as "chuck roast."

Pretty interesting diversity of appearance! Are all three of these really chucks? I am planning on going low and slow and having about 10# of pulled Chuck, but the middle and left come from a butcher who has been known to be less than accurate in labeling. Nothing nefarious to goose margins, just inaccurate.

BTW, I believe the middle and left cuts are from a Dexter.

You could have a blade roast there on the left. It is from the chuck, but cut differently. Not sure though. Is that a bone in the middle one?

Agree on the "blade". The center looks like a crosscut "arm roast". All look very lean and more like something to braise. Hope they cooked up OK for you.

HorseDoctor , I posted picks on the what are you cooking thread. They turned out well! You noted that there was not as much marbling, and you are correct. There was no extra juice, but they are moist enough, just no extra.
