There seems to be some confusion as to this chuck being dry aged, so let me provide some clarification. This chuck was from Porter Road, and all of their meats are dry aged a MINIMUM of 14 days. Just because this chuck did not have the hard dark pellicle so many of you are accustomed to seeing with dry aging, does not mean it wasn’t dry aged. I hope this provides clarification for those of you confused. Thanks!

I've smoked a whole chuck roast before, I think it was around 18-20#. It was absolutely amazing, I'd put it up against a brisket any day! I think the problem is most people just have it in their head that brisket is somehow better when in reality it's all about how you cook it.

The reason brisket is a smoker meat because it is inferior in every way and needs that treatment. Now it's just what people think you're supposed to like. Chuck beats it in a slow cook but can also be cooked rare with decent results with the right piece.

Totally agree. I’ve done this many times. Want to try your recipe. Excited to see this recipe

Love your videos, I've been smoking chuck roasts for a few years like briskets and its my preferred method. I learned some new things to apply to my next cook. Keep the great content coming!!!

People have lost sight of the fact that smoking a brisket came about because it was an alternative that used an otherwise much more difficult/less expensive piece of meat and until fairly recently, was a very affordable cut to use. The results are great but, theres no corner on the flavor/enjoyability market when it comes to that cut. A chuck roast is *perfect* for many things, including smoking and many people actually enjoy it more. You can even turn an entire chuck into burnt ends, extending or complimenting that of a brisket or, just on its own, especially if you smoke 2 chucks, slicing one. I come from a long family lineage of butchers/restaurateurs so none of this is new to me. I've been surprising people with smoked chuck roasts for a very long time. It's just since brisket has gained such popularity and jumped in price that people started looking for alternatives with earnest. In a pot with veggies isn't the only way to treat a chuck roast. 😉 And thanks for calling it "Jus," the French word for juice (it's ok to just call it juice, too!) It's *not* "Au jus." "Au jus" simply means "with juice." You serve something with juice OR you serve it "au jus" but, you don't serve something "with au jus..." Would you serve it "with, with juice?" 😊

My mouth is drooling just watching. Awesome.

First thought, that’s a beautiful chuck roast.

To me, smoked Chuck still tastes like a smoked pot roast! Done mock burnt ends a couple times, I prefer brisket but both are good! Depends on your preference I think

I think I know what my Sunday dinner is going to be lol. Thank you for another great video.

Great video. I use the Wagyu Chuck from HEB here in Texas (sometimes $6.99 per pound), and cook it the same way. Then use it in my Vietnamese Pho & Banh Mi Sandwiches. If you had a Recteq Pellet Grill you could use your phone to check the internal meat temp & the grill temp from anywhere in the world!

To add a little more smoke flavor, add what liquid you're using to the pan and place on the smoker with the roast.

I will have to give this a try for sure.

Have smoked a few roast, have loved everyone of them.

I've done smoked chuck several times and it has been fantastic. Not brisket for sure, but for what it is it is delicious.

I use chuck for making corned beef. Its a lot cheaper and it comes out great. I make my own brine using no chemicals, salt and spices.

My mom always cooked chuck roast when company was coming, so my brothers and I have always preferred it to everything else.

Benefits of Chuck: Easily available. Brisket "may" require access to butcher or wholesale store(Sam's/Costco). Chuck on sale typically cheaper than Brisket when not. Chuck easier to manage for small grills/smokers or groups. - Two 4lb Chuck roasts vs 15lb brisket. - reduced size requires less cook time Chuck can be more forgiving especially when learning.

You did right bringing it up ro 210. Most folks don't and get tough results. I say chuck is like a hybrid of flat and point.

I've done a couple of these. Great practice/warm up for doing a brisket. Even has a stall.

It's just me and my wife at our house, so Briskets aren't practical. We LOVE smoked Chuckies, man. Like you, I won't say they're "better" than brisket at ALL. But they're at least AS good on their worst day. I smoked two of them last year for the Super Bowl. Sliced them up and made sliders with them. The guys were going nuts, man. Honestly, nobody I've served it to could tell it wasn't Brisket unless I told them. There is one thing I think is better than Brisket, in my opinion; Beef Short Ribs (AKA "Dyno Ribs). I'm talking those huge monsters that come with only 3 ribs on the rack. Phenomenal, man. Good cook!

I like the mix of cuts and feels. It’s a good smoke. But not better.

Chuck is great, especially a choice or prime, but checking prices it's also more expensive. Pound for pound, chuck roast costs about $1.50-$3.00 more per pound depending on grade. Now I'm NOT comparing exotic stuff like dry aged, wagyu, etc, just select to choice, well some angus too. You ARE buying a smaller cut of meat so total cost is less, but lb per lb, at least where I shop, chuck is more expensive.

@AshKickinBBQ

Ай бұрын

Yep, but chuck is the cheaper alternative for those who don't want to cook a whole brisket.

I like to season with Salt, Pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and sometimes I will also add some Paprika.

With brisket being so expensive now, I've started buying and smoking tri-tips. I'll smoke them at 200F until it hits 125F, then sear it on all sides and slice it. Amazing flavor and way quicker than a brisket.

Chuck roast is very under rated. It's a great brisket replacement because of price. Yet the flavor of the chuck roast is better. I prefer a bone in chuck with great marble throughout the roast. I've been cooking them for years and everyone has always enjoyed it. Awesome video.

I smoke chuck roasts often as I don't have a lot of mouths to feed. It's one of my favorite cuts to smoke but like you said, it's not as good as a properly done brisket. Although, if you over cook a brisket and get the pot roast taste, then it's comparable...LOL That looked awesome!

Thanks for the vid. I've recently asked about doing a roast like a brisket on a couple of bbq facebook pages. Of course I get a lot of different answers on how to smoke it. Tired of paying $60+ for a choice brisket. Even though you pay more per lb for the chuck, you're not doing 14# + of it with a chuck. Think I'll try one your way, and try one the way I always smoke my briskets, and compare. Again, thanks for the chuck roast vid.

Chuck is perfect for long smokes. It's perfect for long slow smokes. I usually smoke it then cube it for chili.

What's better than brisket? IMO? Tri-tip cooked to brisket temps!!! Easy to get prime cuts of tri-tip that are heavily marbled at local HEB, more expensive than brisket but beefier flavor, juicy, and minimal trimming. Difficult to get high quality brisket here, cannot get anything close to the big bbq house quality meat in local stores here.

good lean chuck roast..must be very good thanks for a gr8 video

The brisket and chuck come from same area of cow! Brisket is lower chuck is upper. Chuck has a shorter fiber which makes it better for making “Pulled” sandwiches with. From my local butcher I get prime briskets and chucks for the same cost “4.75” a pound. Chuck does dry out easier so the cooking it in a Ajou definitely helps them out. If you took a 20lb prime chuck and a 20lb prime brisket cooked them identically 9-10 people wouldn’t know the difference.

Excellent!!!!! To the grocery store I go!!!!

I've been smoking chuck roasts for several years. It doesn't taste the same as brisket and I don't pretend it does. Closer to beef ribs really. As far as where I get my cuts of meat, I go and get my brisket from Walmart since its not been cheaper at Sam's or Costco. I did buy a chuck roll at Costco for about $3.50 a pound which gave me a couple nice chuck roasts, some Denver steaks, a bunch of ground chuck for burgers and some chuck steaks which are awesome. And even though I buy at Walmart, Sam's and Costco instead of high end online places like Porter Road, everyone that has my food wants to know how I cooked it so they can do the same. So it must come out pretty good. Price-wise, I'm not paying premium prices from olaces like Porter Road or Snake River Farms. I've had their products but they weren't worth the huge price difference.

A prime chuck roast is incredible

Chuck just have different texture. If you like Chuck roast try a beef shoulder clot. Just like a huge Chuck roast. 👍

I’ve been using smoked chuck for chili for years. It’s obviously a lot more labor intensive than just frying up some ground chuck, but the flavor is worth the effort.

It’s always good when cook goes for another slice…

I have over cooked brisket and it has come out tasting like pot roast. I have seen on several other videos people talk about pot roast tasting brisket. So can you get a chuck roaat to taste like a brisket, probably not but I'm sure it still tastes great. Will I try it someday, yes it's on my list along with turkey breast, homemade sausages and roaat beef.
