Well, third time was a charm.

This is the third chuck I've smoked. First two did not turn out so well. This one did. Started at 6:50 Saturday morning. Mustard slather, rubbed with Hey Grill Hey's beef rub recipe. Set the smoker at 250, smoked til internal temp was 165, at 12:25 pm. I did spritz, 50/50 ACV & h2o, at the three hour mark. Although I don't think it needed it. Safety first. Wrapped with 1/4 cup of Better Than Bouillon broth and about a 1/4 stick of butter on top. Pulled it from the smoker at 201 int temp, at 2:15 pm. Surprised how fast it went from 165 to 201. Rested for 2 hours, on the counter, in the foil. Turned out really good. Only regret was that I did not slice it, just tore at it. Great smoke flavor and plenty of black pepper. Definitly will be doing this again.

VERY nice congratulations on a good one!!! What smoking wood? What flavors other than pepper do you think came through?

I LOVE doing a chuck roast in lieu of brisket for the two of us. I also did a chucky as burnt ends once and that too turned out brilliant. I'm definitely on the lookout for chuck roast on sale.

Alright!
You stuck with it till you got 'er done. Im a big fan of smoked chuck.
Slices work well for sandwiches. But if you wanna pull it, you have to cook longer.

I used some Pit Boss competition blend but mostly their oak blend pellets. Not sure about the flavors, mostly the black pepper, and some Coors Light. I'll have to try some tonight and concentrate on what I'm tasting.
