I really need to do this soon.

I finally got fed up with my POS masterbuilt smoker, it's in the pile destined for the scrap yard. I could never get it to work worth a damn, and no amount of modifications to it seemed to help much. So I'm going basic. Picked up a nearly new Weber Kettle for $30 and I'm gonna go oldschool for now.

I may pick up a small pork shoulder this weekend and give it a test run. I don't think I can get any worse results than I was with the MB.

I'm not sure of your level of experience, but if you've never watched Chuds channel on YouTube, he does a bit of smoking on a weber. May have a useful tip or two.

I think I did come across one of his videos, and that may have been what steered me toward the kettle. I can't justify spending a bunch of money on a fancy smoker right now, but with a little patience I found the Weber for a minimal investment.

I am a big fan of smoked chuck. Compared to brisket easier. Usually cheaper. More forgiving. Still tastes amazing.

Yup. Told the wife not to use anymore chuck roasts from the freezer in the crockpot. This is the way.

Have you tried wrapping and running one up to 205 IT? Then shred like pulled pork. There is a great BBQ shack in Kauai, Hawaii that does that and sells it as “pulled beef.” Some of my favorite bbq ever.

Yes I have, both ways are great. I pulled this one at 194 tonight. Was perfect.

I've noticed the grilling/smoking popularity has made what were cheaper cuts of meat more expensive. Oh well, tastes good. mtmuley

What did you put on yours? I've got a few in the freezer and a nice supply of wood from last summer.

Yah I can't justify those brisket prices but we get a half a steer every year so plenty of chucks in the freezer.

Everything they make is good imo.

 

[Dave N]

Okie dokie! I still have a brisket in the freezer yet but that will wait for the middle of summer.

Did this recipe exactly, and it turned out absolutely phenomenal. Even my pregnant picky wife thought they were outstanding. lol I prepped them last night, let them sit in the fridge overnight and they took about 2.5 hours to hit IT. Started at 9:30 and ready by lunch— highly recommend!
