A cross rib roast is lean and best smoked/cooked to a 120-130F IT. Rested overnight then sliced thin for roast beef or dip sandwiches.

A chuck roast is well marbled and a tough cut unless cooked to a high IT (195F to 205-210F) for slicing or pulling.

The boneless chuck roast is from the blade chuck, whereas the crossrib chuck is from the arm chuck.
