Well, I finally got around to trying one of these today, and I don't think that it turned out half-bad for a first attempt.  I started out with a not-very-impressive cut (it's Angus, but WHERE'S THE MARBLING??  Oh, well):

Then I rubbed it with some pretty standard stuff (except my salt was hickory-smoked), wrapped it, and put it in the fridge overnight:
  • 1 T CBP
  • 1 T onion powder
  • 1 T kosher salt
  • 2 t garlic powder
  • 1 t paprika

Next day, into the smoker at 220-230* with Hickory dust in the AMNS fired up on both ends:

Getting foiled at 165*:

Slicing this one, so I pulled it at 195* and allowed it to rest for 1 - 1.5 hours in the foil.  It finished with a nice color:

And here's the money shot:

It was a little bit on the dry side (not too much), but it was plenty tender and tasty.  The gravy more than made up for the dryness, though.  I made it from left-over brisket juices, and let me tell you guys something right now: that stuff is COMPLETELY OFF THE HOOK!!!  All of the flavors from the brisket and its marinade (red wine, worcestershire, etc.) are packed in there, and it's some of the best, if not THE best brown gravy that I've ever had.

Anyway, I have a biscuit left so it's time for a midnight snack!

-Cheers

From the looks of that roast, and from my past experience of being a meatcutter/butcher; the lack of marbling in that roast would suggest to me that it is a "Select" or "liner" grade of meat. (Not enough fat to be "Choice" but to much fat to be marked "Good"). 

When I do chuckies, I'll put them in a foil pan after they have taken on some smoke and add some low sodium beef stock to the pan to help keep things moist.

It's a good thing that I saw this post at lunch time-your qview has made me hungry!
