It was juicy but not like a brisket. Definitely not dry though. Tenderness was amazing. The slices held together well but also very easy to pull apart.

When the temp hit 160 I wrapped until 203. Probe slid out like butter. Then into the cooler with some towels for a couple hours. Slices held bark nicely.

I started smoking big chucks (4lb+) like this since briskets aren't always available locally. It's become my favorite.

We have a new costco nearby so hopefully getting briskets won't be a big deal now, but I really like that there's no trimming work needed with a chuck roast.

Chuck roast from the grocery store is much more expensive here than prime brisket from Costco. Looks great though!

Outstanding! I'm going to have to try this for a Sunday dinner sometime.

Same here in Pa.! I paid $3.70 for the packer brisket at Sam's Club. Reading the food add today,and shoulder cut Chuck roast was average $5.00 lb..

Looks delicous . I want to try it.

Looks fantastic. Chuck roast here is often less expensive than brisket. Not sure what drove the price of brisket so high other than competition to get it as tender as a good cut of meat.

crclass supply and demand there are only2 per beef. Look at chicken wings in my younger days they almost gave them to you.
