    Doing 2 beef chucks tomorrow

    Both are 3 pounds. One on the WSM and the other on my RecTec to compare. I was planning on basically following the pulled chuck recipe on the free site. Been dry brining for 48 hours and will add BBBR in the morning. Going to cook at 250-275 degrees, pan underneath to catch drippings, then wrap with a little beef broth once bark is formed. Pull at probe tender. Anything else you would recommend to improve things? Thanks all!

    Are you using any water in the bowl? I'd start with some to get good smoke on 'em. I also lije to keep them real cold. I rub 'em and put them back in the fridge or freezer while pre heating.

      Yes, forgot to mention that. I will be putting water in the pan. Great idea about going straight from the fridge/freezer to the cooker. I'll definitely be doing that. Thanks!

    Nothing to add but you're in for some good eating tommorow.
    Enjoy.

      Didn't see any mention of beer anywhere. Going to get thirsty during that cook.

      Will do! You prefer sliced over pulled? Or just for that dish.

      Always sliced for me. Cut across the grain and it is tender and fantastic. Sometimes I cube one up and make burnt ends. Chuck roasts are my favorite cook.

    Cook was last weekend but just now getting around to the post. Everything turned out pretty good. My wife and I both thought the chuck from my WSM was better than the pellet. They were both delicious, but the chuck from the pellet seem to lose all smoke flavor after wrapping and coming out of the braise. The chuck from the WSM kept its smoke flavor even after the braising. I've gotten subtle smoke from beef ribs on the pellet that we enjoyed a little more than from the WSM (without wrapping), so I'm thinking when I do a chuck again on the pellet, I won't wrap (or will wrap but without broth). Here are the pics!
