going4it Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Depends on what you want for tenderness. 135 for 36-48 hrs is more steak like155 for 24-36 is fall apart tenderness.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if seems stupid, just never seen something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban Basketball Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I'm sooprised that my culture isn't tediously cancelled again, so before I am permenantly cancelled, I have a question. If I've burnt all of my bridges and no one wants to help, then maybe toughen up a little bit and don't let disagreements hurt you so much. Here goes. How long does the chuck roast take to smoke? Going to try it tomorrow. Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

mspart Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I never did one of those Ban. But even the steaks I smoked that I left in too long weren't bad, just a little tough but good on flavor. Never had a bad piece of smoked meat and I guess I've tried hard enough. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did overcook some beef kabobs last weekend though that bordered on inedible. Edited September 8, 2023 by Ban Basketball Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

Offthemat Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 It depends. On the size. On the amount of done you want. On the particular piece of meat-they can vary a lot. If you want it to resemble a brisket, cook it low and slow till it gets an internal temperature of 190-205. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to try it tomorrow. It’s not about time, every cut and every cook is a little different. It’s about internal temp. To get there depends on how big and thick the cut is. And please, can you leave the nonsense to the other threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrog Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Agreed @WrestlingRasta on both statements. I did a chuck roast and it took longer than expected and wasn't quite as fall apart as I thought/hoped it would be. Not sure I would do another one. Pork Butt going on Sunday a.m. for all the wrestling coaches who are coming over...can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done dozen and they are super tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done dozen and they are super tasty. I ditto this. If you keep it a low temp (220 max) you're going to be okay, it's nice meat you can do a lot of things with. Smoking at 250 or so you're going to be at a big risk of losing it. Resting time is a big deal as well with all the fattines in a chuck. Resting is underestimated a good bit.

Offthemat Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I read that more fat equals more flavor and less fat equals more tender. I go for choice or better. Certified Angus is supposed to be between choice and prime. I usually search for the cut that is choice but close to prime. The last brisket took eleven hours the one before took fifteen and they weighed within two ounces of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
