Hi everybody,
after I was absent for the last half year or so for some private reasons I thought it would be a good comeback to show you guys this big cook I did for a friends fathers 60th birthday.
I cooked two beef bone in beef chucks, with a total of 70 lbs. Seasoned them with a mix of oakridge black ops brisket rub and oakridge santa maria steakhouse rub. injected with a mix of the rubs, bbq sauce and Jack Daniels Honey (wouldn´t drink it but I love this stuff for cooking). Hung those two beasts in my UDS and cooked them for 25,5 hours at 225 degrees. only opened the lid for 4 times to pour some of the injection over the meat.
Everyone at the party loved it and I was really really happy how it turned out. Enough said, now it´s time for some pics.

Way to come back with a real home run. That is some fine looking beef. I could really go for some of that right now. What was the internal temp when you pulled it off? I would have thought that after the long cook it would have been well done but that looks perfect. Great job and do not stay away so long next time.
 
I have never even seen a bone in chuck like that. I would have been intimidated to try and cook it whole. Nice work!
 
Thank you everyone. Yeah I was really excited to do such a big cook. Actually my second biggest so far, I did a 85lbs beef leg for my 30th Birthday in october.
Unfortunately I can't tell you what temperature I pulled it out as my maverick broke during the night, so I went for probe tender and it worked really well. The meat was so moist and tender. Hope I'll find some more possibilities to cook such amounts of meat.
 
Now we know the answer to the question of where's the beef?
Nice work BTW.
 
Nice! Welcome Back!

That's some well-hung beef! :shock: :tsk:

I can only imagine the celebration you had with friends... looks great!

(I'm about to use those same chafing dishes for a shindig tomorrow... guessing they've done well by you).
 
Thank you.
@ShadowDriver they work great for me. I work a lot with them, keeps the meat hot and moist for almost the whole evening. Have fun with them.
