Pulled Beef is the Plan

Acn

Working from home today and a significant chore on tap for the weekend, so I'm taking advantage of the first and planning for the second.

I picked up a 3.75 lb chuck roast from the butcher yesterday.  Rubbed it with BBQ-1 Cow Dust and bringing the egg up to around 250-275.  It'll go on with a couple of pecan chunks and smoke for a few hours.  Once I get an IT around 155-165, into the CI Dutch oven for a few more hours with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, red onion, bell peppers, and a can of green chiles.  Probably add a tablespoon or two of the rub to the veggie/liquid mix.  Bump the egg to 325-350 and let it braise until it falls apart.  Then shred and reduce the liquid on the stove if needed.

Sounds like a good plan.  I haven't done pulled beef yet.

Sounds like a solid plan. I did my first pulled beef a couple weeks ago, using pretty much the same method, and it was great. Looking forward to see the results.

Sounds like a great plan!  Did you get the rub in the exchange?

Thanks all!  @smokeypitt - I did get the Cow Dust in the exchange.  It is coffee based and smells really good.

Few more pics: the start of the smoke...

Everybody ready to jump in the pool?

Everybody in the pool, and the pool back on the egg:

I put in a tablespoon and a quarter of the rub with the liquid, and I switched to tamari sauce after discovering that there was no Worcestershire sauce in the fridge.

Looking good man. Standing by for the finale.

Looking really good.  That BBQ1 joint is right by my in-laws.  I am usually only passing by when we are on our way to their house to eat.  I am going to have to stop in for some rub.

Their pig dust is pretty good too, I used that on a butt a couple of weeks ago, although I definitely prefer the cow dust.

Just to bring to a close, the pulled beef, re sauced, and served on a roll.  In whatever order vanilla decides:
