Hal!   Schnuck's has chucky roasts for $2.39/lb this week...

Hal, that looks crazy good.  Hope Starne's doesn't hear about you or me smoking beef.  I think they'll take our lifetime membership cards away from us. :o

Looks real good Hal, except for that L&P part.

Hal,  Thanks for posting.  Definitely something I want to try.  I'm all about cheap and tasty treats.

Do you recall what size (weight) the chuck roast was?

Thanks,
Tony

Not exactly, but it was pretty big - got it in a two pack at Sam's -it was probably the biggest one they had.

nice roast ....  saw it and  ate my  screen,,,,,  now i have to go buy a  new one

Nice job Hal.  Beef gets a good run with red oak in this neck of the woods.  You got a chuck roast rare to be tender, now that's a hell of a good job.

I pulled two chucks out of the freezer and gonna give them a marinade in

some sweetwater brine in the morning and put them in the Bradley on 190*.

We'll see what happens. So what IT am I shooting for?

So what IT am I shooting for?

I think I pulled it at 140...
In the Bradley, you could probably (easily) run lower than 190 and extend the time...
The only reason I went 190 was because the ambient temp was almost 100... 
I was afraid the fire might die if I tried to run it lower (?)

[classicrockgriller]

I got 3 ready to go.

I'll crank it down and let it run till it beeps at 140.

180 or lower?

[hal4uk]

If you're not in a hurry, why not try 170?
(gotta make it more tender)

What's in that "Sweetwater" brine?

The "Smoked Habanero" was what I used on the Sirloin Roast.

Gonna slice that thing tomorrow.

[hal4uk]

Whoaaa...  Habanero...
Ok, I saw that stuff in that other post you did...

Does the heat kinda mellow with the cook?
