First time smoking a chucky on my MES40 (or ever). This is an Angus chuck roast that was over priced, but this store is closer to my house so I said "what the heck". Was gonna go just salt and pepper but last minute added some garlic and onion powder. Starting weight about 2.6 lbs. Hoping for some tender pulled beef.

You're going to love it. Did one last weekend. Right on with your rub. Take it to 205 and wrap in foil for 45 minutes and you'll have some nice sammies!
 
That's about the size we get them around here too.
They make awesome Pulled Beef!
You're in for a Treat !!
Be back to see the finish.

I really like pulled chuck. My best smoke ever was a big roast with the neighbors this past 4th of July. 4lbs+ and it was like jello when I took it off.

Right before I wrapped it

I did a round a 4 pound chuck roast about a month ago. I used the same spices and salt. It pulled apart with ease.

Yeah the barks a little to heavy for me also, but I'm a betting the meat still tastes real good.

Point for sure

Turned out pretty good, maybe a tad dry for my taste but over all a success. The bark was salty and peppery which was a delicious taste maybe a little to thick though. After it was chopped up it made an excellent sammich. With slaw and a side of beans it was a great dinner.
