is it possible to cook a frozen chuckie at lunch and have it ready for dinner?

[sparky]

H#ll yes!  well, if you have a WSM and are hungry. 

it all starts w/ a frozen chuckie and some friends.



its really frozen solid.



a little twist.  I added the chuckie into a baggie w/ some A & W rootbeer (i'm up at the cabin and don't have any glue material up here) and some burnt sacrifice Kansas city rub.



let it sit like that for 1 hour.  the rootbeer froze to the chuckie. 



added some more rub to the chuckie.  a lot more. 



going old school today. 

fired up the 22 WSM (practicing for when the power goes out in the winter, lol) w/ my can in the middle.



hot charcoal in can.



pull can out.  waa laa......



all vents wide open. 



everyone in the pool!  temps at 250° and climbing.



1 pecan & 3 cherry.



were cooking w/ heat boys and girls.



chuckie reached 160°.  time for some veges (shrooms and onions) and a FT.



looks good.



cya at around 200 buddy.



wow, the old hippie has skills around the WSM.



added some more rub to it.  oh ya.  super yummy.

started at 1 pm and finished up before 7.



I normally put my chuckie on rice or big fat noodles.  don't have any.  so a 1/2 a hamburger bun w/ do.





while I was cooking look what came down out of the mountains and checked out the smoker.  not more than 20 feet away from me.















right on the other side of my truck.  I guess they know when you are a fisherman and not a hunter.

Nice looking plate full of beef chuck. It's making me hungry!

Those are some great pics of the black-tailed dear Sparky.

Looks great.  Hopefully that was a good size chuck and you didn't burn up a bag for a little one all by itself on the WSM.

Man that looks good!!!!

it added just a touch of sweetness to it.  I like how the rootbeer froze to the chuckie.

Wow - very nice. An old school cook at the "cabin" and watching the deer wander by... how much better could it get?

just a little 5 lber.  ya, it did take a lot of charcoal but I was going for high heat and for over 5 hours time.  the damn chuckie was frozen solid.  I most use my WSM for shorter cooks like ribs, abt's, chicken.  I am told that in the winter time this area loses power for days at a time.  who needs power of you got a WSM.

well......  if the cabin was on the lake that might make it a little better but I agree w/ you.  old school cooking and watching the deer.  it was a great afternoon.

Funny I am exactly the opposite with how I use my Weber.  I tend to use my WSM 22 for really long stuff and my offset for up to about 8 hours.  Did it actually burn down all the charcoal during the chuckie cook?  If not, there'd have been road kill or something in there just to make me feel like I hadn't wasted available heat. :-)

Looks great Sparky! Appears that frozen to finished in a WSM is no problem.

Are we having venison steaks tomorrow?

Are we having venison steaks tomorrow? 

Only if they will take trout bait....and if Sparky can set the hook and land 'em!
