Ok everyone I have 3 chuckies going on the UDS tomorrow morning they are about 2 pounds each.

Will rub and wrap tonight before bed and then start a chimney around 5:00 am

Need help on what time frame it will take to cook I know it will be done when it is done but I am planning dinner around 4:00pm is this enough time or should I start sooner.

Before and after pics to prove I did it as usual even remembered to grab the camera from work so no cell phone photo's.
 
Cook them like a pork butt. They will take a little longer per pound ( closer to 2 hours ):-D. I wrap in foil at 160* then put them back in til they get 205* internal, then rest them in a cooler for a couple hours then pull.:-D Makes some of the best pulled beef ever.:cool:
 
Plan about two hours per pound. If they are done a little sooner than planned you can just wrap and cooler until you are ready.

Chuckies ROCK!
 
so I have 3 two punders do I add all together for the time or does 4 to 5 hours seem ok
 
Not unless you are going to sew them together :-D As long as they are separated the heat will surround each one and it will cook on it's own. I have found that smaller cuts of meat tend to take longer per pound that larger cuts. Watch them and if they are drying out foil them with some broth or juice..
 
Sorry i missed your post Ed, you got good advice, now where are them lil puppies?? :confused::biggrin:
 
no time to prep tonight so i will rub them in the morning and start the uds around 8 picks to follow i will start a new thread for it
 
Foil at 165-170. Don't take them off the smoker until the meat twist easy with a fork. Mine always tend to run about three hours per lb. Rest for 3-4 hours if possible.
 
thanks everyone and the cook is going to start here is the prep pic
