chuck roast problem

[jdmabrey1]

Hello, I have never done a chuck roast as my wife hates the standard roast from an oven. my question is will smoking one change the texture enough to trick her into thinking it is something else? i just want to try a chuck roast on the pit boss lol. anyway thanks for any feedback. Happy New Year Y'all!

Doesn't like chuck roast? mercy........

Buy the one with the most marbling you can find and smoke it up. If it's the fall apart texture she isn't digging, take it to about 190 IT and slice it. It will be tender there but not necessarily fork tender.
This one is too lean for smoking IMO. You could but you'd have to watch it much closer.

This one is better. It would be great sliced or pulled.

Try Larry Wolfe's Pepper Stout Beef recipe. She won't recognize it being chuck.

If your wife doesn’t like a chuck roast in the oven, I doubt she will like it smoked. Unless you do like Hijack73 suggested and slice it at a lower IT, and tell her to give it a try. Pretty darn good with mashed potato’s & gravy.
