Smoked Chuck Roast

[Gene Brownson]

I’ve been seeing people smoking chuck roast lately, treating it like a brisket and using tallow. Inexpensive and looked delish so I thought I’d give it a go. Only searing was wootsy and spg. Apple wood for smoke.

I got the bullet going, and trussed the meat to keep it from falling apart

I’ve learned so much from this forum about smoking and grilling. Thank you all for the education, I would’ve struggled without you.
I like to foil everything I can for easy clean up. I don’t use water as a heat sink. I use the largest clay pot base I could find, filled it with sand and foil it and put in the water pan which is also foiled. I used a small ring in the smoker and started with the fire stick.

Gotta have some brats as a snack. Cooked these on the wife’s gasser.

Chuck's are hit or miss, yours looks to be a hit Gene. I love chuck roasts, mostly in the crockpot, but also the smoke/braise works nicely too
