Title: Can't go wrong or . . . . call me a Copy Cat
Post by: Big Dawg on September 03, 2014, 07:26:43 PM

I decided to try some Pulled Chuck Sandwiches for the family over Labor Day weekend.  I asked the butcher to cut me a five pounder.   He got it a little closer to six, but, the more the merrier.  I stayed by injecting it the night before.  I used a little of my Brisket Injection boosted with a little Lea & Perrins.  Got up the next morning and coated it with a little Montreal Steak, then went out to start the Little Man.

Temp on the Little Man is a little harder to control than for a pellet cooker, at least it is for me.  (Still have a lot to learn ! ! )  So, I did the first two hours at about 250° with some Mesquit in there for smoke.

Then I put it in a pan, seasoned as instructed, and covered.  Not being a beer drinker, all I had on hand was a Newcastle.  But if I follow my "cooking with wine" policy, only cook with what you drink, I think it was good decision.  Anyway, I bumped the kettle up to 350° and put Ole Chuck back on there for about three more hours, until he reached an IT of 200°.

After I got him off, I packed him and headed over to my parents for some football.  After a nice scotch, I commenced to pulling.  Amazing how well it held temp in the Camfeaux (red Igloo with a very tight lid).  Very tender, very moist, great on one of those mini-torpedo rolls from Sams ! !

Nice job, BD!!  I just bought two chuck roasts that total a little over 6 pounds.  I'll be using some of Tim's Top Secret rub on them and I will follow my brisket cooking profile.  I won't be cooking them for about two more weeks.  They are vacuum sealed and in the freezer right now.  We have some Navy friends coming and I know they like BBQ.  I'll have some pictures and a report later.

I like pulled beef as much, if not more, than pulled pork. And that looks like some really good pulled beef to me.

Great looking pulled beef!

That Montreal steak seasoning is one of those classic mixtures you can't go wrong with.
