    Just pulled, 6.5 hours 196F IT, zero resistance with a toothpick in the center mass.
    Resting now for 20-30 mins. The new serving up. It is super moist and very tender.
    Stole a bite, did not suck.
    Good to know. Thanks. This sounds like a delicious meal!

    Really cooked very nicely on the MM, great smokey flavor, goes very well with the rub.

    Looks great Ron. It's a nice change of pace to do a chuck for sliced in lieu of pulled sometimes. Enjoy.

    It is fantastic. Recommend both the rub and the pecan. Awesome.

    I can't believe how tender this is, sliced like butter, no effort.
    Thanks for the kind words.

    @tml1230

    If you do nothing else on the MiniMax, be sure to do a beef tenderloin. Smoke with pecan. Easy to cook, great for meals and sammies, Hawaiian roles are the key. Pork tenderloin is another fast and easy cook as well. Buy a couple of those and smoke with peach.
    Chicken legs are awesome as well as wings.
    One of my favorite treats, is very slow roasted beef franks. We use the large Hebrew Nationals, roasted and rolled on the grids, until just before they split.
    Burgers are awesome as well. These are all easy cooks and make great leftovers.

    Take some Naan with you and make some pizzas with it as well.

    Do not forget to make s'mores.

    Thank you for the kind words. Enjoy Disney and the family. My Beautiful Wife is über jealous. That is her favorite place. Just a word of warning, if you are cooking on the egg, while camping, you will have guests, wanting to know what smells so good.

    Take care of your beautiful granddaughter, make sure she is spoiled before you bring her home.

    Thank you Matt. My Beautiful Wife just inhaled her second sammie, and dared me, threatening my life, if I touched her plate.
    I will be doing this cook frequently.

    @Jeremiah

    Nah, I am busy adding on to my trophy room, in my palatial estate, making room for another dozen shelfs to display all those world championship wings trophies I will be winning when I bring my big ol can of asz whipping down to the Wingfest, generously hosted by you. Looking forward to you eventually handing me that first, of what will likely be a long string of victories represented by exquisite, highly prized trophies.
    I certainly will relish the opportunity to be sharing a glass of the Moss Box with my envious brothers, for years to come.

    Thanks for the kind words. I really hate not being able to have some fun with my brothers.
    You all are the best.

    Thank you Brent. That Trader Joe's Coffee and Garlic Rub you told me about is the real deal with beef. Combined with Pecan smoke, absolutely delicious.

    Thank you Michael. It was just a chuckie, but it was a really good chuckie. It probably be much better if it was cooked on your new deck on your new palatial estate, on that deck overlooking that lake, my brother.

    I just got the quote for a new deck. A lot of ramen is in my future.

    What are you building? I know, they can run up some large coin in a hurry. Is it a deck or an extension of your home with utilities, cooking areas, big screens, multiple bars, hot tubs and such things?

    That looks killer Ron. Do you recall what the final internal temp was before slicing? 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I pulled it at 196F IT. I did not check temp prior to slicing, just let it rest in a foil covered pan for about 20 mins.
