    This chucky cook . . .

    I haven't been able to post or do much cooking lately as we prepare for a cross-country move. But I managed to put a chucky on my kettle with S'nS and PartyQ. I ran at about 250° to an IT of about 180°. Then I wrapped in foil and took it to 205°. It was probe tender, so I held in a warming drawer for about 2 hours.

    So here's the interesting part - look at the smoke ring. I dry brined about 3 days ahead of time and used Jarod's Trifecta 2.0 rub. I haven't seen this before. Maybe there was a pocket in the meat?

    Another possibility - that slice was close enough to the end to get some myoglobin fixing from the end, making this shape when I sliced.

    It was quite good, so no complaints, just interesting.

    That is odd, but I’ll bet it was good. Did you pull it?

      I decided to slice it, though some parts wound up shredding anyway.

    I'd haveta imagine jus a matter of muscle density / fibrosity / porosity, in that particular area...
    I see this alla th time, reckon ain't no two pieces of meat th same, eh?

      Lookin' like a pretty short lull at the moment, Bonsey! Keep your powder (and your charcoal) dry ...

        Many Thanks, RustyHaines ...
        Been tryin to git slimmed down, where th wind jus cain't find me, no more...
        Til then, I'll keep myself as down as possible...
        I live in a slab duplex, so it makes way more sense to me to go chase th tornadoes, then sit here, whimper, an hope it misses me...
        Ain't like whimperin ever helped a man, jus made him feel better, at that particular moment...
        Usually, we jus drag out th coolers, an hit th lawn chairs, watch em come on in....

        I think it was about 4 pounds. It was about 11 hours from start to hold.
