Chuck roast

[ANT0407]

This little 3 lb roast is taking forever! I did start it on smoke setting for 4 hours then raised up to 250. 45 more minutes and I will be at 12 hours. The internal temp is only at 176.

And 40 minutes later it's at 200 internal and very tender. That last 40 minutes it climbed very quickly!

I took the day off from work for my birthday. I have a 3 lb chuck roast that I just put on the smoker. I'm going to use it to make a chili for a contest tomorrow afternoon. Right now I have it running at 180, in a couple hours I'll bump it up to 250. I'm using SPG that I made myself, and hickory pellets. I'm also running a smoke tube with the hickory pellets layered with mesquite chips for an extra boost of smoke (Thanks @Cowboy1955 I think it was you that recommended layering in wood chips) Should be a great day. Coffee on the deck watching the smoke roll, and beer later View attachment 4191

Yes. My girlfriend likes the beans. I wouldn't put them in but she likes them

We all make sacrifices for the ones we love besides they are good

I kept mine on the mild side just in case there are people that don't like heat. I am going to finely dice some jalapeños, and use my smoked cheddar,and some green onion for garnish. There is also a pan of cornbread in the oven as I type this. Fingers crossed, hopefully I come home with a trophy

happy birthday. I smoke a chuck roast at least once a month. They always turn out good.

Well I ended up getting 2nd place. I lost to a pineapple/kielbasa chili.
