I hadn't cooked one of these in a while. Pretty much used the Wolfe Pit recipe except I devein and remove the seeds from the jalapeños as Mrs R2 and I can't handle much heat. I also used Big Butz BBQ's Cow Pow rub instead of S&P.
Smoked a 3 1/2 lb 7 bone chuck roast (over a butt - not part of the recipe :) ) until IT hit about 165: Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
Prepped the standard veggies & tried a Big Bear Stout: Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
Added the chuck to the pan and covered: Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
It went back into the Egg at about 325-350 for almost 3 hrs before it was pulled and returned to the Egg uncovered for a while longer to reduce the liquids. Finished product: Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
Served on a ciabatta roll (I added some cheese after taking this pic): Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
It was some good eats. I really need to make this more often.

    Great one as always @R2Egg2Q, definitely getting a bookmark. I think I get the gist, but if you have it handy can you post the recipe you mentioned?

    This is the only Bear REpublic I've tried. One of the best IPA's I had last year.

    Thanks John. I think your batch looks even better than the original! Did you use any wood chunks?

    Pictures look amazing!  I am trying to duplicate it now, smoked a 3lb roast earlier but I have to finish it in the oven for foil step. 

    I saw another post about Pepper Stout Beef and someone finished the ciabatta bread with a mayo based sauce.  I think it had horseradish in it too?  Anybody have any ideas what this would be?

    Just found it, @acn posted a tiger sauce and I put it below in case anybody was curious.  I think I am trying the sauce instead of cheese  . . .

    Can I just use oak from a tree.. I mean what's the dry out period? I have found an oak tree that has been cut down this week.

    I've heard 6-12 months but I would imagine it depends on a number of factors (size of the chunks, season, humidity, etc...). I don't have any first hand experience waiting it out on fresh cut wood yet but this reminds me that I have some wood drying out from my dwarf plum tree that I think I cut 6-7 months ago that I might try. I'm sure there's an optimal moisture content that smoke wood should have but I don't have any way of measuring that. Perhaps the science guys will chime in.

    I followed this recipe last week and attempted to cut all the ingredients in half since it was just for my wife and me.  This ended up being a mistake; well halving the liquid ingredients was a mistake I should say.  While it was roasting at 350° covered in foil for 2 1/2 hrs.too much of the liquid was reduced and left the entire meal way too concentrated.  I'm not sure how it reduced like that being that it was covered in foil.  Oh well...live and learn.
