Thanks fzxdoc, I found a lot of chuckie help from you when I searched the forums beforehand - much appreciated!

Thanks yβall, learned a lot and your comments help me confirm some things in my mind. When I woke up today I decided it went better than I thought really, just my first double stall threw me for a loop. I *was* afraid to crutch, but still had that nice bark even after wrapping it with broth for 45 min. Never expected that. No longer scared to crutch! π¬

I completely agree with you guys. That was my first time ever using BBBR and also the heaviest Iβve ever laid on a rub. I need to chill, been watching too much Man, Fire, Food I think.

Good looking chuck. Im a bark lovet too.I typically will crutch from 170 to 195-200. Then put the roast back on the smoker for 45 min to firm up the crust.

Looks delicious to me! I'd say you did a good job. In the future don't fear the crutch. Just wait long enough to let the bark set. And don't use too much broth that the steam softens the crust significantly. That has worked well for me. But I like to serve my Chuckie Brisket style. So I only take it up to 185 f then rest and slice.

Ditto that. I find BBBR to be too high in pepper, and I don't rub that heavily, either.

That's a beautiful bark on that chuckie!! Looks like all ended well but I don't ever recall dealing with a 3lb or so chuckie that stalled for so long. I usually run around 250 pit temp. I do pan mine around 170 or so with some beef broth and dark beer onions and peppers in the bottom of the pan. I don't cover the pan though so it's kind of a hybrid braise/crutch thing that goes on.
Works out great every time!

Very nice! I don't go as heavy on the rub. Like to let the meat do the talking.

The result looks worth the wait! Throw on a rack of ribs around noon and you will have snacks if the cook goes long.
