chuck roast times for shredded sandwhiches?? best/ favorite smoked Beans recipe??

[smokinq13]

So I picked up two angus beef "chuck pot roasts" that I wanted to smoke and shred into sandwiches..

roasts:

First: Tuesday I'm planning on smoking them( since in our area, Monday is suppose to be the best weather for a Range-Day) but this would be the first time I actually smoked any type of beef to, I guess you could say the "shredded stage" so I was wondering what temp should I take them too and how long you think they should take?? they are not big, only about 2.25 lbs each so I imagine they won't take long.

Second: I was trying to think of what to make with the beef and I got baked mac n cheese as an answer from one person which I'm fine with doing but I was also thinking of doing up some smoked baked beans as well as a side. So my other question is what's your favorite smoked bean recipe?

any/all suggestions and comments would be appreciated!

Those beans are fantastic .

I imagine they won't take long.

Last one I did was 11 hours . Wrapped at 165 , didn't probe tender until it reached 211 IT .
First one I did I pulled off to early .
Second one I followed Bearcarver info . Came out awesome . Both roast were 3 lbs.

When I make beans, my go to is Gary S recipe (Gary's Beans). Its my all time favorite. I change it just slightly by adding a can of pineapple chunks. Fantastic flavor and a real crowd pleaser.

I second Gary's BB Dutch's Wicked BB contains pineapple.

Smoke it like you would a brisket. Around 195* start probing for tenderness.

The chucks I've done, usually about 3.5lbs, take ~6hrs. That's usually 4hrs or so in the smoke to 160-170°F IT and then another 2-3hrs in a pan with beef stock and an onion to make some nice jus. If you don't pan, it will probably take longer.

I’ve only smoked some chuck roast once but it got me hooked. I would smoke to 195, wrapping at 165-170ish, then start probing at 195 until it’s perfect.

If you ever watch YouTube you can check out the bbq pit boys. I love their recipe for pork and beans, but you could easily alter it a little and add beef. Cooking with Ry also has some nice looking smoked baked beans recipes.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
