first time chuckie not pulling
Tried a chuckie on the wsm, followed what I thought was conventional wisdom, smoke at 225-230 to internal temp of 160, then covered and braised it. I got the internal temp up to 195, but it doesn't feel like it is getting loose at all. It's a small roast, just under 3 pounds, and maybe 2 inches thick. Could that be my downfall?
:sad: |
Still needs a little more time on it. 205-210 is what I have found to turn Chuck Roasts Pullable
|
Chuckies need to go 200+.
|
Just keep cooking it until you stick a fork in and twist without resistance. My last one loosened up at 208 degrees.
|
You can cook it longer to pull, but I've done sliced as well and it's pretty dang good - in fact, I'm not sure which one I like better.
|
OK, i,'ll keep it going. I just didn't want to dry it out more than necessary.
|
yep, keep going....
|
Thanks brethren for the advice, the chuckie did eventually fall apart beautifully. I didn't check the internal temp,but know for next time to ride on. I'll post some pron next time, didn't have time today.

As everyone else said, give it more time. You can check it at 195 or so... but if it is not ready, it is simply not ready.
