I love to smoke and eat chuck roasts, but to do one, think low and slow like a brisket. If you just tried to "grill it", it will be big time tough.

I smoke my seasoned chuck roast for 2-3 hours @ 225F with hickory. Then wrap in double layer of foil and add 1/2 bottle of a yeasty beer. Close up well and back on the smoker @ 225F for another 3-4 hours. Remove and let it rest 1-2 hours. They literally will fall apart.

I don't have a kettle, but I have seen people use the Snake Method when smoking for long periods of time.

For those of you dealing with temp control in a Weber kettle try this Slow-N-Sear device. I've heard it works great. I rarely use a kettle for anything other than maybe burgers or brats so I'm not going to drop the bucks for one but if you use a kettle as you're main cooker it's probably worth the investment. It has a vertical water reservoir in it is what makes it work as it performs as a heat sink.

The bbq shack is coming along nicely. Table top is coming tomorrow. The steel roof should be finished next week.


I managed to get 2nd for ribs in the backyard BBQ competition at our small town annual festival. I did not place for chicken I think I left them in the brine too long. They were too salty.


First time cooking Tri Tips. Wow, they were fantastic, and the wife's parents loved them too!

So I got a Kamado Joe about 6 weeks ago. First time I have ever grilled in my life. And I am loving it.

On Sunday I grilled a 3" thick Prime grade tomahawk ribeye that I had picked up from Costco. Perfect medium rare in the center, perfect char on the outside.

Then on Monday I attempted my second brisket. It was a 5lb choice grade flat, also from Costco. I rubbed it with olive oil, salt, pepper, 4 Rivers all purpose rub and a little Montreal Steak Seasoning. I had the grill at 225 degrees and put it on at 6:01am. And there it sat until about 1:30pm. By then I had sprayed it with water a few times and the internal temps seemed to have peaked at around 160 degrees. I raised the temp of the grill to 275 degrees and over the next hour it came up to 180 degrees. I then wrapped it in foil and brought the grill up to 375 degrees to finish it off and pulled it off at exactly 203 degrees. That was at 3pm, 9 hours to cook a 5 lb brisket. It sat wrapped in that foil in a cooler for an hour and then I took it out to slice it up.

And I have to pat myself on the back, not only was it the best brisket I have ever had, it might have been the best piece of meat I have ever had.

Good job! That rib eye brisket looks very good!

It does look like a nice brisket.

Nicely done!!!

No pics, but I smoked some baby back ribs on the BGE yesterday. Rubbed one in Bad Byrons butt rub, and the other in Dizzy Pig. Smoked at 235 with oak lump charcoal and hickory chunks. Roughly every 30 mins spritzed with water to form a bark.

Bad Byrons was a Sigforum recommendation from a few years ago, and it produces a nice bark and delicious flavor. Always get compliments on food I cook with it.

Dizzy Pig was bought on a whim at Ace Hardware. It didn't produce even close to as good of bark and the taste was so boring. Pretty disappointed in it.

Made some BBQ for my friends. I finally made both BBQ and white slaw. Pretty much perfected at this point.

Sadly I did not take a picture and for that I apologize.
Made a couple Dino Beef Ribs from Costco.
It was like $30 for two ribs but oh so worth it.
Smoked it on the BGE for 6+ hours hours and it was incredible.
Nothing like the super beefy taste - like Brisket on steroids.
I highly recommend beef lovers to do this and NEXT time I will include pics.

Shame smschulz!

Jeff looks absolutely amazing!

Jeff

That just pegged my drool meter!!

Thanks guys….Dino Ribs….brisket on a stick.

Seasoned with salt, pepper and sumac. 250F until internal temp hit 170, wrapped until 203F.

The Sumac really helps with developing a nice bark.

^Same here. So when I go to the butcher tomorrow, what do I ask for to get ribs like those?

Never mind. I see Mr. Yarchin got a post in before me. Dino ribs.

I think these are officially plate ribs.
