Hey Everyone!

1st post, so go easy on me =)...  thought I would contribute to all the tasty meals folks post. 

Got a LG BGE back in January and have been using it nonstop since!  I am hooked, even threw out the old gasser, now I only use the Egg.  I have learned so much from everyone on this website it's incredible!  AND I have spent way too much money already on MUST HAVE accessories!!

I remember reading a couple months back that people were going to try to post more about the cooks they are doing (even if it wasn't anything special or crazy).  They have quickly become my favorite posts to read.  It's great to see how others cook all sorts of stuff, from chicken thighs to steaks or whatever.  Always learning and refining.

Okay enough blabbing...

THE COOK:

This weekend I did a chuck roast, followed Grilling w/ Dad's chuck roast recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNPMBwzqM0s&t=494s  came out awesome!  

Used a little hot sauce as a binder and Meat Church's Holy Cow for the Rub (sorry no photo).

Set the BGE up at 250F indirect (using CGS's AR), smoked with a few chunks of hickory, when the color was nice (~2.5 hours), put it in a cast iron pot with beef broth, diced onion and a couple dash's of Worcestershire (as the recipe says) and cooked it for another 3 hours until it was fork tender.

Only deviation I made from the recipe is I only sauced half the beef (for dinner last night - pulled beef sliders on Kings Hawaiian rolls w/ Grillo's Pickles).  The other half I pulled and let the beef drink up some of that delicious beef broth pan sauce and I plan to make left over tacos this week.

Side Note: I saw a post the other day about Grillo's pickles, I can confirm they are in fact...that good!  Living in MA, we have been eating Grillo's pickles for years it's all we buy :), add that to the list of things for people to buy (your welcome).

I know the phrase on here: "if there isn't pictures it didn't happen" and I tend to agree! I will work on taking more photos, but I did grabbed some at the 2 hour mark and some of the finished product.

Thanks for looking :)
