Wanted to do something on this rainy Sunday so why not cook my first Chuckie? So many here have posted mouthwatering chuckp pictures.
Fired up my WSM about 8:45 am and it took about an hour to stabilize around 240. I slathered the 3 pound roast with BBBR.
The WSM ready to go under the makeshift shelter - several tarps over the deck above.
Everthing went well and the temperature maintained a decent 249-250 most of the time. When it hit 160 a little over 3 hours in, I wrapped it to get it past the stall. Once it hit 184, I thought I remove the wrap and develop some better bark - bad idea. This is where I prove the evaporation principle of the stall. I checked a scant 30 minuets later and the temp had dropped to 164! Another 20 minutes and 4 more lost degrees forced me to wrap it again...dinnertime was approaching.
The temp rose quickly after the second wrap. A full 6 hours into the cook, the temp reached 190 and I pulled it into the cooler. I wanted sliceable meat.
It sat for 45 minutes or so and was really tasty. The whole family enjoyed and I will definitely be doing it again.
