Pot Roast

[Russell McNeely]

So I did my first "pot roast" in the WSM today. I started with a 2.5 chuck roast seasoned with Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

On the WSM with K blue and apple wood. Target cooker temp. is 230-250.

A foil pan with potatoes, carrots, onion, and beef broth waiting patiently inside

After a couple of hours or so, the roast is at 163 degrees internal

Added roast to the pan

Pan covered with foil and back on the smoker until roast and veggies are tender

At 6:00 pm everything was ready to eat. I made a simple gravy from the juice in the pan, plated it, and chowed down.

This was really delicious. Roast had a nice smokey flavor and seasoning was just right. Will do this one again!

Thanks for looking!!

I smoked a pot roast on the Performer for a couple hours last night using hickory, transferred the roast to the crock pot with onions and potatoes. I checked it this morning and had a taste test. It was the best roast that I've ever had. I used the same seasoning as Russell, can't wait for lunch.

Good idea, would be a great cool weather meal.
