Butts

[Tiny Tim]

Leave the butt in the FTC and when your time to eat approaches take it out and pull your meat. The FTC process keeps it warm and helps making the pulling easier.

Okay I'm have'n a brain cramp, whats FTC? jeeze louise I bet this sounds silly.

Fart at The Cat, Fill The Cup, Follow The Chicks, Focus The Camera, and then Foil Towel Cooler your meat.

I thought it meant to use Foil Tent to Cover ((( dag gone ))) so wrap the meat in floil and cover with towel then let cool?

let me ask, what cooking method you use'n ? second are you use'n a marinaide.
the chuck cut is dificult to get tender in any beef type. just a note: chuck steaks are generally cut thin for this reason and chuck roast are cooked in liquid for long periods of time. If I was gonna grill chuck steak I woud get a thinner steak and use a marrinade. In 28 yrs I have never worked in a market where chuck steak was cut a 1/2" or more unless it was customer request. course I'm sure some markets do.

hmmm marinate  it. then use my secret coffee base rub for the steaks

I have done many chuck roasts to pull for pulled beef.  I do a honey mustard and seasoning rub the night before, wrap in saran and refrigerate.  I cover the roast with bacon before smoking to prevent drying out and smoke with hickory and take to internal temp of 195 and then FTC before pulling.  We love it.

No way.  I am just a mountain man....no where near an iceman.  The Iceman is far and above any of my attempts to season things.  That is why I'm a customer of his not a competitor. Actually the seasoning I use sounds ridiculous.  I use Legg's Maple Sausage Seasoning as a rub with the mustard on chuck roasts.
