Thrill Your Tastebuds With This Slow Smoked Chuck Roast Recipe

Sliced smoked chuck roast

Brisket is one of the pillars of low-and-slow barbecue, but it can be a lot of work and a lot of leftovers for a weeknight meal. Enter low-and-slow smoked sliced chuck roast!

Taken from the shoulder of the steer directly above the brisket, beef chuck roast offers as much flavor as its neighboring cut but at a more manageable price and weight. With this smoked sliced chuck roast recipe, you’ll have all of the deliciousness on brisket without breaking the bank.

To mimic cooking brisket the traditional way, I rubbed the chuck roast with a simple combination of salt and pepper then cooked it on a smoker it to an internal temp of 180°F (82.2°C), which takes about six hours. That internal temp makes the chuck tender yet sliceable like smoked brisket. Once cooked, it is great on it’s own or my favorite way, as a sandwich on a crunchy roll or garlic bread!

If you prefer to pull the meat, cook it to an internal temp of 205°F (96.1°C), as in our recipe for Smoked and Pulled Chuck Roast.
