Yes, my creation to emulate a lasagna style dish.  YES, seasonings can be suited to your preference.  Chili powder, garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, black pepper and salt could be used according to taste.

Just found the Weber Kettle Club;  then spotted a post by you. Merry Christmas, Larry.  Hope you're well.  I'll try this version soon, it looks fantastic!  But, right now I have the chuck going on the grill to 165 and I cannot change it as your Pulled Chuck is a favorite of three grandsons in for Christmas dinner tomorrow and your recipe was not a request of theirs; just kinda this side of a demand!!  They love it and want it every visit.  Wishes for a great New Year.  Regards, Cliff.
