Chuck Roll Weekend

Recommended Posts

My first ever. I remember seeing posts from someone (can't remember who) saying they gave up briskets for chuck rolls. So i bought a 20 pounder and did a two meal cook. Half went into chili at an internal temp of 170-175. The other half for pulled beef sammies at 205ish. I cooked it real slow at 220, except overnight I slowed to 210 so I did not bust through the stall while asleep. At 170 (about 19 hours) I cut it in two and cubed the meat for the chili. The pulled beef half went into a Lodge dutch oven with red wine and sweet onions. Potatoes and peppers added later. The rub was pepper, onion, garlic, paprika and a beef base coating on top. Enjoy! We did....Really beefy flavor!

It was some time ago when this came up so I thought to finally try it. 30 minutes ago I put a 15 pounder on the fire. The rub was Adams Steak au Poivre with a healthy dose of added cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. I'm not sure how I will cook it. Low and slow or maybe the brisket hot fast method. One thing I do know is that when it hits 165 it's going to get wrapped in paper. While I think it over, it's running at 250. I want it done this evening so will probably hybrid cook it. Slow for a while to get some smoke and bark on it and then kick it up to 350 after the paper wrap. Stay tuned...

So the cook ran from about 8 AM to about 4PM at about 300° the whole time. I got distracted fixing my mother in laws car and wrapped in paper at 180. Then at 190 I removed it from the fire and rested it for a couple hours. It came out super! About like a cross between brisket point and flat. I pulled it apart muscle by muscle and removed all the intermuscular fat and fascia. Then sort of chopped and shredded it. I really hate to admit that I might never do a brisket again, this is like the pulled pork of beef. It's basically the same cut, as a matter of fact. It's just insanely good and easy too. The shred photo is about a quarter of the whole piece.
