Po’ mans burnt ends - Med egg

Gonna be my first attempt tomorrow at po’ mans burnt ends on the medium egg. Got two 3 lb choice chucks at Costco.  I’ll smoke one at a time, due to size constraints and science. 

Plan to use Miller’s Steak Seasoning and sauce from Llano, TX.  Meat market just up the street from coopers.

  • never done burnt ends with chuckie (or brisket for that matter) but I'm interested in your results. We have done pulled beef with chuckie many times and that has always turned out great. Never really thought to cube it up and do burnt ends. one way to find out...

    Treat it like a brisket. Cook until 160-170, then cube, return to smoker until tender.  Sauce a few times in a pan once cubed.  You’ll be surprised it will take a decent amount of time like a brisket.

    Treat it as a brisket, best piece of advice one can give.

    I was waiting for the "Chuckie must die".....

    We like pot roast style; brown it in a CI dutchy add some broth and slather the browned chuck roast with horseradish, braise like a standard pot roast, covered. 
    Must try the @RedSkip suggestion of cooking to 160ºor so, cube and sauce and cook some more.

    I think it was “chuckle must burn” but it was a while ago.

    Hit the stall and about to wrap it up for few hours.  Didn’t get the bark I wanted, but they’ll go for a few more hours out of the foil later on, before I cube it up.

    I’m really enjoying this egg. So much easier to control than my old offset smoker, and it doesn’t leak heat or smoke from everywhere.  I’m convinced I need a bigger table mounted one. Not sure if the XL would be too big though?

    There is more fat and connective tissue in a chuckle than most briskets.
