Had a few extra left over from a 1/4 cow we purchased this fall.  Smoked at 270F for 7 hours, then wrapped at 160F IT for 3 more hours.  Cubed, sauced, and tossed back on the egg for 2 more hours.

Picture is a shot of them cubed and packaged for this week's lunch.

    Now there's a burnt ends recipe I can support.  Great cook-thanks for the suggestion.
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I agree, sure beats an 12 packer cook then 5+ more for the burnt ends.

    @RedSkip -  upon further review that must have been a healthy chuckie to take 7 hours to get 160*F.  I usually see somewhere around 5 hours (3.5-4.5 lbs) to get there then about 2-3 hours to get to pulled beef stage (210-215*F).  Regardless, next chuckie is destined for burnt ends.

    I had three on and they overlapped a little, about 1.5-2" thick each.

    TBH, I missed the target on 200F and pulled them late.  Our little one was getting ready for her nap and had to focus.  

    Lastly, I wish I could have had them in sauce longer than I did to help set the sauce more, but was getting pressed by the Boss (SWMBO).
