I woke this morning, 5:30 to be exact, and was still thinking of Natureboy's chuck roast. Trip to butcher shop and 3 1/2 lbs later came home with dinner. Thanks Chris, this was awesome! I rubbed with Cow Lick and Raising the Steaks. The whole neighborhood had the wonderful aroma of this beauty! Some boiled taters and carrots, Life is GOOD!

    Looks great! Did you start off with higher temps, then cut back for a low and slow? How long did it take? I bought one too, but haven't cooked it yet.

    Started out at 300 dome, direct, after 1 hr turned meat over and left for another hour. Took off egg and brought temp down to 240-245. Chris really hit temps on the mark, meat was 169 when i pulled it. Meat temp lowered to 142 waiting for the egg to lower.
    I put the meat back on and let go for another 2 hours, at 170 i foiled and added 1/4 cup beef stock, and shut egg down for final 2 hrs. I let it sit for rest before carving. It was definitely worth it!

    Nice - thanks. Did you record the final meat temperature? Just wonderin' if 190ish is the "done" temp on this cut.

    Again, looks great.

    Chris pulled his at 200, i pulled mine off at 192, my sides were done. Next time i will let it go to 200 and see if there is a difference. This was very, very juicy and tender
