Info on a chuck roll?

[PAT K]

Trying my first chuck roll for a party this weekend. Read through the cooking topic, but could use additional info. Does anyone know about how long a 23 pounder would take, what kind of wood (thinking of using oak), or any other insight would be great. Thanks.

They are simular to a big butt. I would cut in half and cook at 250 deg. I would also plan on 1.25-1.5hrs per lb, when 180ish start checking for tender. Leave yourself with 4hrs to spare/rest. I love pecan on anything beef!
