I got the gasket from: http://bbqgaskets.com/kits-by-brand/weber/weber-kettle-gasket-kit.html

I installed it on the inside rim of the lid. Definitely makes the lid fit tighter! They have photos of the installation on the website.

Thanks Mike, That's an easy mod to fix a problem many of us face!

Thanks for posting this Mike!

I have a chuck in the refrigerator for tonight. I have a few questions if you don't mind.

I will be cooking this in the BESRG. So it will run a little warmer. Did you rinse the salt off before you started?

Was the plan to pull at 160° and then wrap in foil and add some beef broth?

What should be the final IT to pull and wrap to rest?

Thanks in advance!

No, I did not rinse the salt off. If you use a rub make sure it is either salt free or very low salt.
Yes, I pulled it about 160 and put it in a aluminum pan with some broth and covered tightly.
If you are going to pull it I would take it to 210. Seems high, but with chuckies they tend to be more tender at this temperature. I had to take one before to 215 to get it to pull. I rested it for about 2 hours before pulling. Just vent it a bit to stop the cooking, wrap tight in foil, cover with towels and put in a cooler or cambro.
Good luck on your cook!

Well sad to report it failed miserably. The good news is that I have some spare shoe leather in case I need it!

I got the chuck from Food Lion. I normally get my meat from BJ's.

Back to the drawing board! LOL

I've had them fail before to Bob. Depends on the meat. I have had them up to temp but could never get them to pull. I have since then have been buying either from Zaycon Foods or my local butcher. I have never had too much luck with them from the grocery stores.  As long as you had fun and learned something from the cook you had a productive day in my opinion. Got to look at the bright side.  ;)
