Smoked chuck roast

[jwmiser85]

I decided to smoke a couple chuck roast for tacos.  I used a basic beef rub of rosemary, onion, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper and a touch of chipotle powder.  I foiled it with 1/4 cup of bourbon around 170 and let it ride to 200.  It turned out amazing!!

Awesome!     What temp, how long per lb?    Insight and advice appreciated.

I am not sure on anything with the exception of temp.  I ran the smoker around 240.

I apologize for the lack of record keeping...I just toss things on the smoker while I'm working around the house and check on them ever so often.  I will ensure I pay more attention to the specs for my future posts.  :)

I am going to follow the comments on this thread. I found sirloin roast and arm roasts are best to smoke to high internal temps of over 200. Can't wait to see replies. I thank everyone in advance too!!!

I will try either of those myself Cprmom

Nice looking Chuckies! Make great tacos! Grab a seven bone sometime and give it a smoke, they are tasty too!

Sirloin is much better taken to mid-rare to medium, anywhere from 127ish to about 140.
