Used Stubbs all natural briquettes for this one:

So I've been experimenting with pulled meats (chicken and chuck roasts). Is the ideal method to pull them after 200-210F IT and then wrap them in foil and set in the cooler over night? I've seen this mentioned a couple of times now. The chicken doesn't really put up a fight when I pull out the meat claws immediately after cooking...but the chuckies sometimes give me a bit of a fight even after resting in foil for 30 min after cooking to 210F IT. Suggestions?

Thanks for all the kind words.
I want to give a big thank you to the folks here on the forum.
I have definitely learned a lot and it has made the experience much more enjoyable.

Thanks again.

@brentwoodkris,
I have not personally tried a chuck roast yet (hopefully soon though).

But I am sure there are plenty of people here that will be able to give some great advice.

From what I have read on the board here, the chuck roasts can be finicky and the best test is to try to swirl a fork in the roast and if it twists like spaghetti it is ready to be pulled.  As I said, I have never done one yet, so YMMV.

Thank you.

Chris

Thanks Chris,

Hadn't come across that bit about "swirling a fork like spaghetti" but none of my chuckies have been close to that tender! Maybe I'm doing something wrong...time for more delicious experimentation!  8)

Thanks for that link. I would like to try this. I love horseradish, but that dollop he put on would clear your sinuses for sure.

Horseradish to me is like salt, you can NEVER have too much!
