My wife actually said this the other night.. (after having smoked turkey, oh, every day for a month)
Ok then!
Cue the guys with the sharp knives and white lab coats:

9 pound chuck roast. That cost a pretty penny, but we'll see how it compares to brisket.
I'm also doing a 8 pound pork butt for a coworker. Mustard slather, and a heavy coast of Bad Byron's Butt Rub:
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/Sxmzxoe-BCI/AAAAAAABBGU/ike0LcDaefs/s800/DSC00197.JPG)
The chuck got a mustard slather, then a ton of 'Magic Dust' (http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=12850.0) laid on it:
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/Sxm0GdC4tZI/AAAAAAABBHE/nikSYJ7YRhI/s800/DSC00203.JPG)
Here we go! 3.3 hours of Pecan and a temp of 220* (measured at the top of the cabinet - we'll trick the Ranco into allowing it to go a bit higher in there)
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/Sxm0BTNAqGI/AAAAAAABBGo/PIGmRBf4yBI/s800/DSC00218.JPG)
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/Sxm0JwsC_sI/AAAAAAABBHQ/wBEwi9etzpY/s800/DSC00222.JPG)
It's currently 19 degrees outside. No wind. This should be interesting. I have a small fan in the cabinet helping push the smoke/moisture away. It's gonna get wicked cold, and I don't want condensation dripping back on the OBS. (or liquid smokecicles forming)
I'm monitoring the chuck and the cabinet temp with my ET-73. We'll check back later to see how the Bradley is doing.
That looks great Squirt. Suppose to be in the low 20's here tonight, brrrr. I have to do a few butts soon to bring with me up to WI for the holidays, rt was requested. I could probably just send the pulled pork and they wouldn't even notice I wasn't there. :D hmmm
SIA
I like the looks of them two. Only 3.2 hrs of smoke?
Where's your spirited heart.
Looks awesome. Anxiously awaiting final pictures

It was cold and I was in a hurry. That's all I had stuffed in the pocket of my sweat pants. :D
Is that a 3 hour stack of Pecan Bisquettes, or are you happy to see me?(I have to do the slanty writing tonight, as Hal4Uk is enduring unpleasantries I don't even want to think about)
LOL ;D ;D

Thanks Bear. It will be a loooonnngggggg time before we see the end results. I'm just hoping they both get close to done (shooting for 200*) before we have to leave tomorrow afternoon for my company Christmas party. If they are close, I'll FTC them and pile the towels on. If not - they'll go (in covered pans) in a roaster at 200* and I'll pray the cats don't pry the lid off and tear into them before we get home at midnight. :o
The chuck roast will be shredded/chopped like pulled pork. That is it's destiny..

7:30AM, time for a peek.
BRRRR.. Talk about 'cold smoking':
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/SxpltGNhorI/AAAAAAABBIY/xRJH4ap5LZY/s800/DSC00234.JPG)
Everybody is looking happy inside:
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/Sxpl5DgLRnI/AAAAAAABBIg/1MmWmPtX1Fk/s800/DSC00236.JPG)
I filled the pan, rotated them (left the butt on the bottom), and put the meat probe into the butt. It's at 170, the chuck is at 155.
Boy the Bradley did good in it's home. It's 23 here this morn. Gettin too old for cold weather.
They are looking good squirt.
I need to fast-track my 'range hood' installation to suck more of the smoke/moisture out of that cabinet. It's getting pretty messy inside. :o
Looking good! It's 31 here and snow still on the ground. It's a hoot watching the traffic cams.
Give the measurements to OU, bet he could make you a template
Oh, no doubt..
I think an off the shelf Braun range hood will do the trick. Run a vent out the side of the cabinet.
I just need to measure everything about 6 times before I cut into the plastic.

I measure and write it down, lose my measurement before I can find my saw, re-measure and write it on the back of my hand, wipe my hands before I cut and lose the measurement again. Then I take a break.
Way to go STC! That's putting it through its paces. Couldn't believe all of the ice forming in your building.
24 degrees here when I got up this morning but the sun is shining.

Sunny now and the wind is picking up again. I just ran out and bungeed the doors together.
I'm glad my Ranco is underneath a shelf, as that ice is melting and dripping everywhere. Yuk!

13 hour mark.
Butt is at 180*, chuck is 154*. We'll see what is happening at 3PM. I'll probably put the chuck in the crock pot on low, as we have to leave the house by 4. The butt *might* be done by then, but I doubt it..
Heck, I might just jam them both in the crock pot and let them play together while we are gone!
Did your butt already past the stall point?
Quote from: classicrockgriller on December 05, 2009, 11:02:16 AM

Yeah, it hung in the 160s for the longest time..
Ok, times up. Butt hit 192 (good piggie!), but my buddy Chuck was stalled at 165.
Anyway, they look pretty.
(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/SxrPvLGiClI/AAAAAAABBNA/QMcJwwRV8Pk/s800/DSC00238.JPG)
One low carb pork butt, coming up!
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/SxrPxGoTRGI/AAAAAAABBNI/KLJkB5A5Spk/s800/DSC00239.JPG)
Into the dreaded crock pot for you, Chuck. We'll see if you want to cooperate about 10PM tonight.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/SxrPyp7hlLI/AAAAAAABBNQ/FTXWU6-B6n8/s800/DSC00242.JPG)
Butt is covered a pan, under about 6 towels, and into the cooler. Threw a couple big items on top to keep the critters from breaking into it while we are at a Xmas party tonight. (thanks again Deb for the BIG HONKIN' JUG-O-SYRUP!)

2 bigger ones are, littlest one isn't. That'll happen when we are gone for Christmas vacation. (thank gawd)
How long are you going to be gone???? Hint Hint.
STC great job you have done there. Both look good.
I hope that the chuck would turn out as good as the butt.
HR
Chuck and Butt! Sounds like a new comedy show.
Looks good squirt. I see those new screens didn't want to keep your "slathered" pork butt this time.
Ron must not have found my house, as Chuck & Butt were still sitting nice and toasty in the kitchen when I got home... :D
Man it smells good in here.
From 9 pound, fat laden, unwieldy pieces of meat to...
... shredded piles of beauty!

Ok, so maybe that is a bit over the top (had a few cocktails at the company Xmas party). :D :D
squirt, Butt is awesome looking. you made some person's day.
now chuck, you bent his knees.
wow! thanks
For the record, Chuck had the 'low & slow' spurs put to him for exactly 30 hours...
21 in the Bradley, 9 in the crock pot.
I'm about to shove him in the fridge now to shut the process down.
Yeah Squirt those are some fine looking vidals as grandma Clampett would say.
yeowsir. geez!
huh?

Let me check the picture timestamps again and do some ciphering... (the camera knows the real truth)
That is some serious dedication to smoke.
STC,
so the butt beat the chuck by how long..... ::)
I believe you! You started last nite.
Well, let's see.. (times are 'camera time', not CST)

So now that you made the front page of the forum news you hate me? ;D ;D
And now I'm really really tired... It's way past my bed time..
But, I wanted to get that all broken down and into the fridge.
Good night John-Boy!
Good night Jim Bob
Good nite "MR CHUCK and MS BUTT"
g'nite mary ellen.

How does the chuck taste? Have never done a beef roast before.

Out of this freakin world good... Almost like brisket.
The mustard slather plus Magic Dust make for an awesome bark.
I don't have a kitchen scale (yet), but I think I have more actual meat at the end with this, than when I do a brisket.
At the Christmas Party last night, they had a carving station w/ prime rib. I'm standing there (blocking the line) staring at that thing... (wheels are turning)
Tell Mrs. C that it tastes just like turkey. That way Bubba and you can have it all to yourselves. ;)

We just had a few chuck sammies.. If I can get it on sale, I'd say it's almost as good as the briskets I've done.
Next time I'll go with 2 smaller roasts, and maybe inject them with something to introduce a little more fat/moisture.
4 Buck Chuck is a bit steep, but this week, he's going for $2.50/lb. Might have to snag a couple for the freezer.
squirt, was glancing thru groc ads and a store that I don't normally shop at have "Whole" vac pkg
Sirloins on sale for $2.29 all you want, no limit.
That looks gooooood...
You save me any?????

I sent you several pictures from the phone this weekend - only to find there are some "black holes" in Branson (several pics never went through).
I really enjoyed the shows down there (I must be getting old).
BUT - That place is a mess...
I expected everything to be more "centralized".
The town is spread all over the place - like some kinda Pidgeon Forge on steroids tourist h*ll spaghetti...
With blue haired people driving into each other at 4 MPH...
We have a little bit... ;)
I picked up a digital scale from Wally World and divied up Butt & Chuck into ~1 pound vac bags.
For the record: 8 pound butt yielded 4.5 pounds of actual pulled pork. 9 pound chuck (after lots of midnight munching, cold breakfast carnivore raiding, and a few sammies for lunch) had 4.25 pounds left.
--
I got 4 or 5 pics from you that I posted to Picasaweb. I'll send you the link.
Awrighten...Wish I was still in Branson...
Had to go back to work today...
We should get together so you can give me some of that good smoke stuff...
And give me some social skill pointers...
You're the WIZARD. You're the KING...
I know YOU could work with this guy w/o Uhhhhhhhhh...
throwing him through a plate-glass window...
EMERGENCY MEETING!!!!
hal!!!!! did you see Andy or was he dead or just look like he was dead?
CRG... You ain't gonna believe this... He sings as good as ever..
He's 82... and he he's running on 8 cylinders. I reckon he'll be there long after I'm gone.
It was a fantastic, uplifting Christmas show...
Glad I went ;-)
