@@WeekendWarriorBBQ I just tried this yesterday with a 2.4 lb chuck roast from a dairy steer we raised on our farm. I used the same Texas rub that seems a bit too peppery for our taste and I had plenty left over that I bagged up for later use. I put it in on smoke on my 4-series for about 30-min, then put it on 225 for about 2.5 hours. I love the set it and forget it option compared to a charcoal grill as I mowed about 3-acres of grass while it was smoking. We started to get impatient around 6:15-6:30pm so I gradually increased it to 250 and finally 275. I took it off at 160 degrees since we like it medium-rare to medium and let it rest for about 10-min. It was good, had about a 3/16" smoke ring, but not quite as tender as I would like compared to how my wife makes roasts in her Dutch oven. We sliced it up and put it on some ciabatta bread with cheese. Btw, you can get 12 small ciabatta roles from Costco and it freezes well to have on hand for sandwiches. We butter ours up and heat it in the oven with whatever toppings-yum. Am open to any tips on how to make it more tender and any suggestions for how to hack the rub so it's not so peppery.

@WeekendWarriorBBQ

That sounds fantastic. I think the only way to make it more tender is to cook it longer and try a dry brine (salt only and let it brine for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator ). Then you can just sprinkle a light pepper on it before it goes in the smoker

I jut got a new Grill Sivlerbac and smoked my first chuck on it today. I tried something a little differernt. Air brined the 3.5 lb roast over night in the fridge and then sous vide it at 150F for 24 hours. Pulled it out of the bag and seasoned it with some of my own rub. Kept the 3/4 cup of liquid that came out of the bag. I put the roast on the grill at 225F on the Pro setting and I added a tube of pellets on the grill to get a good dose of smoke going. After 2 hours I cranked the grill up to 285F and put the roast in a pan with the juice from the sous vide bag and took it up to 205F. I pulled it off and covererd the pan with foil and let it rest for 30 minutes. I must say, it was amazing great smoke flavor, very moist, very tender, and not one chewy spot in the whole thing. I am going to try a brisket the same way next.

Looks great. Will definitely give it a try. Have a deer roast I need to do something with. You mentioned brisket being expensive. Find out when your local grocery store gets their shipments in. Hit them early the morning of. I get my briskets clearance priced at $1.99 a lb.

Would you recommend the celery seed on other meats such as pork butt to help with the bark?

How do we think this would work in a barrel/drum style smoker? You think it would hold together with the two metal prongs used for hanging? I love chuck!

I have the pit boss pro 4 series from Low's . Got it on sale for $490.00 worth every penny. We did baby back ribs for the first cook .Going to smoke a chuck roast next thank for the great video.....

Just my 2 cents...Any time you add water to your your smoker it's going to keep the temps down because of the moisture it creates. It does help with keeping the meat moist but takes longer and you wont get as much of a bark on it. I prefer to just mist the meats because I'm not leaving the pit area anyway. Love the PitBoss products tho. Great Channel

Hi Kraig. Working muscles like chuck roast need to be slowly brought up to about 200 degrees to break down the connective tissue and become really tender.

Nice yard!

I tried it and salt and pepper rub only, no good, all your other videos are amaxing

I usually use the Pitboss competition blend,apple, cherry and maple

The neck part of the chuck roast is the top ( neck) end of the of the backstrap. a.k.a chuckeye. It's very similar in texture and marble as the ribeye, bit typically just a bit less flavor. Not all chuck cuts have it, pick through and you can find it. Pull the eye, make a steak, stew the rest, awesome cut of meat 🍖

Here something to try. Injected the roast with Creole Cajun butter and season it just like you would a brisket. Put on the pellet grill for about 3 to 4 hrs at 250 to 275. Put it a pan and pour the rest of the injection cover pan with foil until done. Slice and put on hawian rolls with povolne cheese and a little bit of the juice

That chuck roast looks awesome, Mike! That smoke ring is to die for. Using the chuck roast is a great idea and I will definitely use that for my next cook. It is priced about a third of what a brisket costs in Canada! You were wondering about the difference between kosher salt and sea salt. Other than crystal shape and size, they are chemically the same but they traditionally have different uses. Kosher salt tends be be coarser, less refined than regular salt, and is mined. Kosher salt, with its larger crystals, takes longer to dissolve and was used to draw out the blood from the meat to make it kosher. Sea salt is made by evaporating sea water and has flakier grains. Sea salt might also contain some trace minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium) that affect the color and taste and is used mainly for finishing. Hope this helps and I can't wait for the next video!
