    First Ever Chuck Roast

    The roast went on the smoker about 7 a.m. (I had some trouble getting the smoker up to heat.) It's almost 6 hours and it's solidly in the stall at 152°F where is been for over an hour. Here are pics from before the cook:

      That striper in the photo was caught in the surf of of the Virgina side of Assateague Island. I caught a couple decent yellowfin off shore out of Chincoteague quite a few years ago.

    Try making an adjustment to your photos any small edit or change., they are not coming thru. This sometimes happens and all will look ok on your end but we won't be able to see it.

    grantgallagher I cooked my chuck and pork yesterday 4.5 hours. You can bump up the heat and blow right through the stall. It's in the SUWYAC thread. Chuckies are awesome. I'm looking forward to your photos.

        Thanks. It was kinda floppy so I had to tie it. Uncharacteristically, it's been just about 7 hours and I haven't peeked once, so I don't know if the string held up.

      The Fireboard driver and fan had done a much better job at keeping the temps fairly even than I could ever do on own, although not perfect. I find I have to go sit the fire every 30-45 minutes for the fan to work. That's what the periodic deep trenches are in the attached screen shot.

        Looks great from here! Don't sweat those kinds of pit temp differences.

        Not sweating them at all EdF. Like I said, I couldn't have done half as good a job at keeping relatively consistent temps on own. I'm very happy with it.

          So, I pulled it at 180°, wrapped it really well and put it in the faux 'bro. It's been in there an hour so far and will probably be there closer to another hour before we eat. After an hour in the Cambro, carryover had brought the IT up to 184°. I will take pics when I unwrap it. I'm a little worried about fine ash. It seems to be on everything in the cookbox. Does anybody think it will be a good idea to rinse it before slicing? The plan is to slice it and put on rolls with some raw onion and Heinz Texas BBQ sauce.

            I wouldn’t unless the ash is real heavy on it.

          So, this was a righteous dinner. The Boss didn't even notice the ash (and I didn't tell her?) When I wrapped the chuckie @160°, i put a few ounces of homemade been broth in the package. This turned out to be a good thing. After slicing, I dipped the slices in the collected "juice" before putting them on the rolls. I put a slice of provolone on each sammy and stuck them briefly under the broiler to melt the cheese. The Heinz Texas Bold and Spicy sauce was excellent on this. Here are the pics
