I saw a nice recipe for pulled beef on another forum and thought I would give it a try.
Started with a 4 lb chuck roast.

My quality control sample 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.

Looks good ! Let us know how it is after it's 2-3 day "vacation ".
Looks good. Should make great sammies.
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.

Thanks. Those are frogmats or q-matsz as some call them. I buy them by the foot and cut them to size. It's cheaper that way. Here is a link.
