SMOKING A CHUCK ROAST

[Hawging It]

Greetings smokers! A few days ago I posted my smoke of a 4.5 pound chuck roast. First time with a chuck roast and it was fantastic. The chopped BBQ beef sandwiches were very good and I have plenty vac packed beef put away for additional sandwiches etc. I would like to know if there are other beef roast cuts that will smoke well. I suddenly am hooked on beef roast smoking. Thanks in advance for your response.

I have used pulled chuck for burrito's. Good use of it In my opinion.

If your wanting fall apart beefy goodnes for sandwiches your already on the right track with the chuckies . but if your wanting to try some other cuts I really like the eye of round cooked medium rare and sliced thin. ..... Cheap cut and done right its top notch!

Eye of round had gone over $6/# around here.
Chucks are still reasonable.
Sirloin tip goes on sale periodically. Marketing name as it is actually rump meat that happens to connect to the lower sirloin. Leaner than a chuck, but great flavor

Went to a Christmas party where they had smoked a Prime Rib way to long it was a pulling consistency was not enjoyable.

What is a clod?

Big hunk of beef from the shoulder. Also might wanna give beef cheeks a try. Very flavorful and pulls amazingly

Chuckles are way too expensive down here, we stick to brisket at under $3 per pound. But yours sure looks good!!

Answer was a bit short.
A chuck roast is cut from the clod which is the shoulder. There is "designer cuts" from the clod that sound fancy, but are basically tough chewy shoulder unless cooked properly ... flat iron, pub cut, or chuck steak. Much of the clod goes for ground beef.


SmokinAl Never thought about using a brisket for shredded (pulled) beef.
Reality is returning.
Today I saw prime brisket at local Costco for under $3/# and also found eye of round roast for under $3/#. No I didn't purchase as I have both in the freezers that are near capacity
