This is one of my favorite sandwiches.

I rubbed the chuck with olive oil and seasoned with cracked black pepper, kosher salt, garlic and onion.
In the drum with some hickory...

made a batch of beer bread, brushed the top with an egg wash and sprinkled with minced onion...
into the drum with the chuck...

After 4 hours I foiled the chuck with some spiced up beef broth and let it cook for another hour...

The bread took almost two hours at 225 degrees.

Split the bread and started with a layer of shredded chuck...

then cheese, tomatoes and lettuce...

I slathered the lid with a horseradish sauce...

Thank you Blkjeep, frognot, He Who Smokes Well, Bo and Alan! :-D

Mike, I didn't take it's temperature but usually shoot for close to 200 on a chuck. Then let it rest. I had it wrapped in foil with the spicy beef broth when I closed down my air inlets and outlets on the drum.. I let it rest in the drum for probably 30 minutes while I sliced the tomatoes, bread, etc..
It was cold out yesterday so the drum temperature dropped quickly.

Thanks Greasepig, Lou, Rich and Bob!:cool:


I didn't have it for breakfast this morning but just had a slice for lunch. It was still tasty.
