Hey guys,
Hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend. From some of the posts I read previously, I know that many of you are looking for an alternative to beef brisket for BBQ. This past week I purchased a case of chuck rolls from Sam's Club--I had to ask the butcher for them, but they had them in the back. Price was pretty decent at about $2.25 per lb. The case contained 3 chuck rolls at approx. 18 lbs. apiece. For prep, I rinsed and dried them, rough trimmed the outsides, and split them each in two, yielding 6 beef roasts of approximately 9 lbs. each. I seasoned them just like a pork butt and put them in the FEC100 at 250 degrees. I would have preferred a little lower temp. (maybe 225), but I'm a little behind schedule and need to get them off by noon tomorrow at the latest so that I can do a load of ribs for a shindig tomorrow night I'll post the results after they are done. Happy Q'n on this Memorial Day weekend!
