Pulled beef?

[dheidemann]

I have a beef roast… and I was thinking about putting it on my UDS….. Would I treat it like a brisket? Some guidance please

I would cook it just like a brisket.

Basically they will cook the same as a brisket. They will give up the ghost around the 200° internal temp. for pulled beef.

Pulled beef is one of my favorites for making sandwiches. I prefer chuck roasts for cooking.
I believe this is also one of DATs favorite ways of doing roasts for his wife.
If you do a search for pulled beef or smoked chuck roast, I think you'll get a lot of threads to check out.

it is a chuck roast. and i was going to cook it to 160 and foil with beef broth. and cook to 200. with my uds temp at 225-250.

Chuck roasts make mightyfine pulled beef - I put them in a CI pot after hitting 160 but foil works fine and less stuff to clean.

I'll overcook a 15-20# shoulder clod pretty much the same as I do a Brisket, put in foil pan after 5 or 6 hrs, wrap in foil and let er go, lots of juice and fall apart. PS I try not to overcook my brisket. Good Luck!

ok it is only 4.5 lbs. i'm going to cook it to an internal temp of 200. about how long am i looking at it cooking? and yes i know to cook to internal temp.... not time. but just wondering about how long it might take.

Check out this link - have used it in the past. Not sure if he gives a time but I would speculate around 6 hours going at about 250 grate temp.

What kind of roast is it? Very important. If you treat and eye of round the same as a Chuck, you won't like it.
