One of the most underrated steaks there isCheap chuck roast smoked at 225°F until the center was 145°F. I flipped it once.

aka poor mans’ brisket…God only knows how many hundreds I’ve smoked over the decades and they turn out just as good as brisket.Cheap chuck roast smoked at 225°F until the center was 145°F. I flipped it once.

Yeah man this was cheap maybe like $11 at the grocery store. When I took it off I let it rest about 20 minutes before we ate. No one said a word they were just chowing down.aka poor mans’ brisket…God only knows how many hundreds I’ve smoked over the decades and they turn out just as good as brisket.
I didn't take any pictures of it on the plate, I was too busy eating three full plates in the first sitting.That looks pretty tasty!
Seriously? I have always wanted to smoke a roast, any cut, but didn't know anybody who tried it. Do you do anything different from smoking a brisket?aka poor mans’ brisket…God only knows how many hundreds I’ve smoked over the decades and they turn out just as good as brisket.
Just like you'd smoke a brisket...225-230 degs. Dollar for dollar they're bout the same price per lb, but you don't have to invest in a 12-15lb packer or 10lb or so flat. Take 'em to 160-170 internal, they'll hit the stall just like a brisket, I always wrap in butcher paper then to keep 'em a little more moist, and take it 205-210 internal. Wrap in a towel and put in a cooler for an hour or two. Some good eats.Seriously? I have always wanted to smoke a roast, any cut, but didn't know anybody who tried it.

A smoked chuck makes some pretty decent burnt ends as well. Smoke it as you said then chunk it up, sauce it and back in the smoker.Just like you'd smoke a brisket...225-230 degs.

I find chuck roasts are more tender in the end if you let 'em sit in the fridge uncovered overnight seasoned real good, then let 'em sit on the counter at room temp for at least and hour/hour and a half before putting them on the smoker.
Sounds good. Have a 14lb brisket on da smoker at 225 since 9pm last night…wrapped in butcher paper not long ago, push it through the stall and be ready for the wrapped in a big towel, 2-3hr cooler rest ‘bout noon or so.4 pound chick roast on the smoker this morning to do some burnt ends. First time so hopefully they eat.

Glad they turned out well.They are not lasting long. My dad stopped by and was surprised how tender and tasty they are. Wife took a bowl to the couch. I have to go cook steaks tonight again so my guess is there will be none left when I get home.
