    This is going to be Great!!!

    Yesterday, got my first sample of what is t' come:

    I posted some time previous 'bout gettin' a 1/4 beef given me, from a good friend & coworker. Needless t' say, I was (am) floored by th' kindness n' generosity.

    Here's th' background: My friend is a mega-talented welder by trade, who wants t' come by, make mods on my cookers, and is now talkin' bout makin me a custom cooker. His welds are smooth as buttah (meanin' he's an OCD Perfectionist, like me!!!!).

    I think even welding bots would review their code lines t' see where they got it wrong. He's jus' that dang GOOD. He's an Artist, of th' Highest Order, an' weldin' is his main medium. He jus' smiles, an' shrugs off any attempts at compliments, or praise, as his humility doesn't allow him t' see his greatness.

    A'ight. Now, my friend, he's a Pitmaster, too. Raises his own Black Angus beeves. Grass fed, grain finished, no antibiotics, 100% natural. Cuts lotsa firewood, so fells his own smoker wood, as well.

    'Long 'bouta week afore Christmastime, he tells me I'm in for some beef, an' explains thusly:

    He took a couple BA steers in for processin', t' a Mennonite packin' house down t' Ottawa way. Them steers was dry-agin' from then, up until last weekend, when they was finally divvied up.

    He brought me a Chuckie t' "try, see if ya like it", an' quite honestly, even havin' cooked at th' highest-end steakhouses in' th' region, an' bein' full aware of what great aged beef is all about, it's among th' most incredible lookin' cuts of beef I have ever personally beheld.

        Mr. Bones, Some Guys Have all the Good Fortune! A Friend who can Finish a Beef Like That is Worthy Enough! The added Bonus of being able to Weld Everthing Including a Broken Heart Is a Steady Hand! Don't ever make Him Mad when He has a Knife or Gun in His Hand!

            Reckon I'm glad ya asked that, Steve B ; I've had over a month t' give it a considerable amount o' ponderin'... (Yes, my brain hurts lol!)

            Now, I kin think of any multitude of ways to cook this, but I kin also see my potential t' somehow 'screw th' pooch', as well...

            After more than a month's time t' consider, I'm leanin' heavily t'wards boilin it in a wally world stockpot, then drainin' th' water t' git rid o' that `Aged Beef Flavour', putting in a crockpot, an' adding whatever store-brand, bought-on-sale BBQ sauce I might have already open in th' fridge.

            Mebbe I'll keep it on low until th' SuperBowl.

            Of course, any other suggestions are always welcome!

            That is a really good looking roast. You have a great friend. As for cooking suggestions, it seems to me that fuzzydaddy has been putting down some fantastic looking chuck photos of late. Maybe he will chime in and share his thoughts.

              Mr. Bones That's a beautiful hunk of beef! My favorite way is a long ~225 smoke on either on my BGE or Kettle + SnS. I pretty much follow the recipe here. I've cooked three chuckies recently sous vide, chilled, and smoked for bark. Though they were good, they were not as good (in me and my family's opinion) as a 100% on the smoker cook. But that's how we like them. However you choose to cook that feller I'm sure it will be outstanding and l'm looking forward to seeing and hearing about it!

                    If you did that to such a wonderful cut of meat I would have to recommend that you have your pitmaster title permanently revoked.

                      Northside Brian I ain't never had no notion that I was granted th' title "Pitmaster"!!! Mebbe I missed that post? Hell, I likely got ~10-20 yrs afore I kin even claim t' be a "Backyard Cremator", like my Hero Danjohnston949 !!! Now, I jus' gots t' find me a T-Model Ford!

                    If I was a female I would marry your friend (heck I'm still thinking about it anyway hes a true renaissance man!) you guys need to find somebody who understand the physics of air flow and heat distribution! Wait he probably already knows that too!! Start building some spectacular Smokers!! Good for you lets us know about the Cook!
