Chuckies. Mad Hunky Beef Injection. Lotta Bull Red Dirt. UDS. Kingsford & Cherry Wood

[ThunderDome]

Rich sent me a sample of his latest creation awhile back. I had been meaning to try it out, but it's been a heater out so I've avoided the smoker for awhile.

Here's the sample. Due to my p*ss poor math skills, I had to send Rich a PM asking how much for two 2.5lbs chuck roasts.


Here's a close up for color/texture purposes


2.125 oz's


Took a spin in the magic bullet. Then split into 2 portions. One of these portions was mixed w/ a pint of water for the 2 chuckies


Pretty good sale price


Injection


Heard this one was great w/ Beef


Baked some THICK bacon for burgers...waved it up for looks


Back to Chucks...

Chilled for 3 hours


UDS getting prepped right now


One more shaking of Red Dirt


9:20 pm. Onto the smoker for an overnighter


Done








Final weight.


I taste tested a few bites. Had great flavor, plenty of moisture. I give both the injection and the rub a thumbs up! A couple buddies were over for dinner and they made sammies. Said it was great

Oh man, am I drooling...that looks awesome!

[Fire it up]

Agreed, great looking grub
Been a while since I have done any chuckies and never get a good price on them around here.

Looks real nice! Rich's products are top notch!

Dang...those look really good! Nice ring and barq. Not familiar with that rub... will look into that. Can't have too many rub experiences I say!

Geez that injection came out like a brick... figgered it would. Can even see the vacpack pattern in it...heh....

Pretty well traveled on the BBQ circuit.

Yeah, I tried to break it up w/ a fork first w/ no luck, had to get out the blender. Your foodsaver must be a high horsepower

Thanks Rich. Ok, so 2.5 lbs went on for overnight? What temp and how long? I am super curious because my last chuckie (first also) didn't turn out. There is a sale right now and I almost bought a couple to try but .......

Thanks!

I put them on at 9:30 or so, and took them off at about 6:30.

I ran the iQue at 220, and they were at 173 when I got up. I should have taken them off at about 4:30.

I decided to run it lower just for that reason. But chuckies for me (or the drum) always tend to take longer than pork shoulders and also hit a longer stall.
