Title: Chuck Roast in the Backwoods Chubby 3400
Post by: HighOnSmoke on January 18, 2019, 07:47:06 PM
Chuck roast is on the menu for tonight.  This is a 3-pound chuck roast that I purchased from Porter Road Butcher.  I seasoned
it last night with a binder of Worcheshire and a base rub of Boars Night Out White Lightening with Double Garlic and topped it
off with Kosmos Q Dirty Bird rub.

This morning I fired up the Chubby 3400 with KBB and a couple chunks of cherry and pecan wood. I am cooking at 235 today.

Chuck roast out of the refrigerator and waiting for the smoker to come up to temperature. The roast came tied from Porter Road
so I just left it on there.

Chubby is up to temperature.

Chuck roast is on!

A little over 4 hours and the roast was stalled at 162. I pulled it off the smoker and put it an aluminum pan with some organic
beef broth and covered tightly with foil. I plan on taking it to at least 208 to 210.

It took another 3 hours to get to a probe tender temperature of 210. I vented the cover for a couple minutes and then double
wrapped the pan and put it in a cooler for a couple hours rest.

All sliced and ready to be plated.

My plate with some fried potatoes and gravy. Yep I know, it needs MORE gravy!

Roast was extremely tender, flavorful and had a nice light smoky aroma.

That looks delicious Mike. I have a few roasts in the freezer. Maybe I need to try one on the GMG DC.

That looks superb, Mike!  I haven't had a good chuck roast in quite a while.  This is making me want one!

That sure does look good Mike.  :thumbup:
I haven't had a beef roast lately either & after seeing that I think it is about time.

Looks fantastic. Let's hope Hub doesn't see that level of gravy!

Just curious, Mike, about what IT did you cook to to get those nice slices?  (I went up to 208º yesterday, for my PSB.)

I took it to 210 and rested it for a couple hours. Fairly thick slices.
