Tie 2 smaller chucks together?

I'm going to cook chuck roast today essentially using Kevin's CR recipe. I couldn't find a nice thick roast, so I bought 2 thinner ones. They're about 1.5" thick. Does anyone see advantages or disadvantages to trussing the 2 together and cooking it as a 3" - 4" roast? I guess doing it this way, I'll be able to introduce my seasonings in between the 2. Would it keep them moister? Probably not an issue with this cut of meat and method... just wondering. I'll give it a try unless someone points out an issue that I've overlooked.
 
You can tie them together but DO NOT put rub inbetween the two. It will get all gray and nasty if you do. I can remember Shawn W doing this several years ago and he said it was bad. I'll see if I can find his post for you.
 
Bryan, thanks. Looks like he was putting a good deal of rub on. I'll just salt it and add some fresh rosemary and thyme to the inside. If it was a whole cut, it wouldn't be getting any rub inside anyway.
