Chuck is pretty tough if you don't get most of the gristle and stuff melted down. You might try like 180 or a little more but I think you would end up with some tough slices of meat. I always pull chucky's because of this. Now tri tip and london broil and top round and flank etc..... That's another story.

I tens to agree with everything said by Timberjet, but it is possible to do and on occasion I have sliced chucks. Primarily for open face hot beef sandweees.
Cook the Chuck to the standard 200°-205° or whenever it probes nicely. Remove the roast, let it rest a good hour. Using a super sharp knife slice across the grain. If you're knife isn't sharp enough after resting the chuck for 45 min. put it in the fridge for 30-40 minutes or over night. Slice and reheat.
Another option is to slice steaks off the raw chuck and then cook/smoke those.
