So, I'm in Missouri, a little north of Kansas City, so I'm a pork guy. Butts, Ribs, Loin, even a Crown or 3. I also smoke chicken, sometimes by itself and sometimes as a timer for the ribs. It is pretty hard to stick a thermometer in ribs.
But I don't do beef.
Not to say I don't like beef. My goto Sunday night supper is a grilled Ribeye with fixins. But smoked low & slow, notsomuch.
So I'm working my way up to brisket, but in steps. Step 1 is a chuck eye roast on my Smokey Mountain Cooker.
Last night (Thursday), I rubbed on the dry brine. Tonight came Mrs. O'Leary's cow crust, the oil paste version. This will sit until Sunday. Then comes the apple infused smoke and the magic.
I have a couple of questions. Meathead talks about rolling and tying this roast. My piece of meat looks like a 2x4 about 8 inches long. No way on God's earth can I roll it. but I figure, since it is pretty uniform in thickness from end to end, that won't be a problem. Second question is about reverse sear. Seeking opinions on whether it is worth the effort for this particular project. With the SMC, it will be a bit of a hassle, and I'm wondering if it is worth it.
Thanks for your input.
