Chuck Roast today

[Hawkeye 16]

This will be my 3rd cook on the RT590 I just got. Doing a chuck roast at 225 and plan to wrap when it hits 165. I just read these are common for causing grease fires… I did not put in a drip pan but so far the foil lined plate seems to work well for draining. Should I be worried? Hate to pull it off at this point and squeeze a pan in there…. Thanks

I've never had a chuckie come close to starting a grease fire, and you're at a low temp. I'd say you should be fine.

In my humble experience, @mooncusser2k is right. This is the only chucky I’d be worried about:

Boat it at 150 and then spritz

you’ll be fine,put in some beef broth when you wrap

I notice more grease when doing a couple racks of ribs than with a chuck. Agree with Pete above, except I like to put in a foil pan covered. The broth and juices really make for some good gravy or just for dipping and if you're gonna pull it, add back into the meat afterwards.
