Seared Chucky

[darrin]

Since this post had gotten lost during the transfer, I thought I would repost. This was my first smoked chuck and I decided to sear before smoking.



Nice hunk of meat.



Seasoned her up and tossed on the grill over some lump.



Put in a disposable aluminum pan and put on the smoker.



Cold rainy day. Perfect for a good chuck roast.



Couple hours into smoke right before flipping over.



Finished.



All sliced up. Man was it tasty.

Man, that's a good lookin' chucky..the sear keeps it juicier, eh?

 

[darrin]

I'm not sure if it makes it juicier, but it does give it a very good flavor.

Now that's something I'm gonna try this weekend...looks like you went with a light rub of some kind, maybe more of a steak seasoning?

Man that looks good! As far as searing keeping the juices in, came across this in a post the other night. Follow the link, search for searing, and then go to page 154:

Well done, Rsands...very good information. I didn't know that the browning from searing is what gives the burst of flavor. Points for thorough investigation. I'm definately gonna try that this weekend!
