This turned out great.Very moist and flavorful.

I will package it up and distribute it tomorrow to our four crossing guards on the way to school, as well as the kids teachers, and probably the office staff.

that looks great.
What temp did you pull and boat with the onions etc?
 At what temp did you cook the boated meat and for how long?

I assume that the 30 lb was the bad one you got. It was labeled as the Nashville store? Did you get it in Nashville?

They were in the 150-160F range when I boated them.

I got them in west palm beach, FL. I've not noticed that on the label before. I'll look at the next one.

what temp did you declare it done?

Unless they package them in Nashville and distribute them as a normal process, I am wondering if they were mis- handled on their journey to the FL RD caused the spoilage.

I boated them about 0700 this morning, and put them in a 225F oven, since I am low on pellets and it was easier to get 5 foil pans in the oven anyway.

By the time I got home from Church, Lowes and a stop for Diesel, they were @205F, so I set the oven on "hold" at 170F to let them coast down a little bit.

I weighed all the pans when I was done, believe it or not I got 19lbs out of a 25lb chuck roll. Now that does count the onions, mushrooms and wine, but dang! better than I expected.

Nice recovery cook, after that "bump in the road".  They look really good, Randy.

All in all, 16lbs of pulled beef was given to 4 teachers and 4 crossing guards.

A couple of work lunches and that is all she wrote on the entire 25lb chuck roll. That was fast!
