Smoking a Chuck Roast

[birdman080]

I am planning to smoke my first Chuck Roast Saturday or Sunday. Going to season with salt and pepper and smoke on my WSM.

I have searched and read several posts on Chuck Roasts, but does anyone​have any advice? Any idea how long it might take?

What temp are you smoking at? I can't see the size (lbs). I've done chuckies that took 2hrs and some that took 4hrs.....

Chuck roasts are my favorite. Usually takes me 6 hours to get them pull apart tender. What are you gonna rub it up with?

Never mind the rub question - just noticed the s&p in your post

Most of mine go 6+ hours.

I will aim for 225 - 250 for smoker temp.

I usually go six hours but it really depends on the actual roast you're smoking. The 1-3 hour rest afterwards gives you plenty of leeway on timing.

Pan or wrap? What kind of liquid?

Well, I debated on either a foil wrap or a covered foil pan.  I had planned to buy low-sodium beef broth at the store for liquid, but forgot.  I will pick that up tomorrow.  I honestly even debated putting it in the oven to finish after I foil/pan it.

I am looking forward to the finished product though...that's for sure.
