Anyone ever smoke a chuck roast?

[jlloyd99]

One other thing to keep in mind with a chuck roast and all the meats you smoke for that matter is to let them rest properly before carving/shredding. I know it's hard sometimes but well worth the wait. This lets all the juices redistribute and keeps your meat very juicy. I myself am guilty of being impatient at this stage but when I can controll myself I'm always well rewareded. I'd also recommend chuck roasts to beginers as they are very forgiving to fluxing temps and over cooking (kind of like a pork butt), they're pretty hard to mess up.

Well, theres no telling what I can mess up then. LOL. It went in the smoker at 51 degrees 6 1/2 hrs later, it came out at 160.Then it was wraped in hd foil with some apple juice, and finished in the oven at 220 and came out at 190.I let it rest for 1 1/2 hrs. It tasted good but it was very tough. The next day I put it in the crock pot and made beef stew with it. Then it was tender.I guess Ill be sticking to pork products for a while! Oh well it was fun to try. And it didnt go to waste. I dont feel bad, they even call medicine a practice. :oops:

Got the itch this morning to try smoking a chuck roast.  Last night I injected garlic into it and slathered it with olive oil and my famous rub, this morning, I wrapped it in foil and put it in the smoker, not sure what the outcome will be but I hope its good, it seems like the fat will cook it nicely.

That sounds good. You know you can start your own thread about it and you will a lot more exposure than posting on a 7 year old thread.

I also see this is your first post here so when you get a minute would you swing by http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/f/133/roll-call"Roll Call" and introduce yourself so we can give you a proper SMF Welcome, Thanks!
