So this memorial day I finally did a Brisket which came out wonderful (sorry no pics, had a house full of family that wanted food instead of to impress the internets). I was thinking of doing pulled beef for tacos or enchiladas, I don't know what kind of roast is the best to use for that. I assume the cooking temps are going to be about 195 or so but not 100% on that either.

I also saw some chicken ham cheese rollups covered in bacon in the bacon wrapped goodness thread that I've got to try as well.

Chuck will work.  Or brisket - if you take it to 200°.

I also use chuck most of the time, but you can also take brisket to the point where it can be pulled. There is a BBQ place near me that serves pulled brisket, and it's great.

I use eather a chuck roast or the point from a packer brisket, save the flat for slicing.

I use chuck roast.  Give it the fork twist test at 190 IT or so to see if it will cooperate yet.  If not, go higher.

I usually use the 7-bone roast.  Here's a link to a post I did before.

Hope these help!

A 7-bone roast works too.  ;D



Just not as easy to find as a chuck roast around here.

Chuck be the one although as mentioned a brisket when taken to 208º then FTC'd and dropped on the counter a little hard will almost shred itself. experience talking on that one.
