Title: Pulled beef on a Bradley -- updated
Post by: txpops on September 14, 2014, 10:39:15 PM
When I saw Hub's BASIC Chuck Roast for Sandwiches I had to give it a try. I didn't add any beer or garlic but it turned out pretty darn good anyway.

Here goes:

Started with a 4 lb chuck roast.

Rubbed with peanut oil and McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
(http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab60/txmnt/IMG-20140813-00342_zps6f04712e.jpg)

into the bradley for 2 hours of mesquite smoke at 180 degrees

smoked

now into a foil covered pan and into the oven for 3 hours at 300 degrees

and done

pulled like butter

My wife was very skeptical of pulled beef but she tried it right after I pulled it and she really liked it. She says she wants this instead of brisket.
The quality control sample I took was very tasty but I will keep it covered in the fridge for a couple of days.  Smoked meat seems to get better if you let it sit for a bit.

I have a lot of different cookers and they all have their place. But if you want to lay down some heavy smoke on a big ol piece of meat you just can't beat a bradley.

Great looking pulled beef, Mike.  This is a timely post.  I am getting ready to to cook about 6 pounds of chuck roast like I would a brisket.  I have company coming this Thursday and will be serving it them.  I'll post my results later.

Well today is the day. I just couldn't wait any longer. We are supposed to have this for dinner but I had a little snack for lunch. Made sliders using Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls and had some sweet corn on the side.

It was really good.  I had separated the fat from the drippings and poured the warmed au jus over the beef before plating. YUM! The mesquite smoke settled down a little and complimented the beef very well. I will definitely be making this again.

Thanks for looking.

Mike
