    Tried Jeff's recipe, and found them to be too sweet. 2nd time around I put a pickled jalipenia in the bottom before adding the cream cheese mixture. Less sweet.

    Chuck roast first timer

    i have been afraid to try a chuck roast on the smoker because they can come out tough or chewy and thready even braised for hours. I am wondering if i used chuck steaks stacked , this will be shorter strands of beef. I do have success with chuck ribs, probably because of the high fat content.
