I think I'm going to switch the jalapenos to Anaheim/New Mexico peppers. Should be a little less heat, but still with that heat flavor. Chicago style Giardiniera sounds like it would be really tasty on these that could be added afterwards for those that want more heat.

Thanks for the comments. I missed a couple of replies and I'll get to them later. Wifes giving me the Its time to go to dinner look! But I did get a couple in first. LOL

Can anyone else confirm this? If that's true, then you'll need to trim all of the ribs off the pepper and it should be pretty mellow when you use em.

I think there is heat in the seeds as well. Look at crushed red pepper as an example. I do agree about the ribs of the peppers adding heat to a pepper. I know this from making ABT's. However I have found that some peppers are hotter than others when making them. LOL I'm still learning!

Just wondering how much it really adds, as compared to beef stock. I also wonder how much it varies depending on if it is Guinness v. Guinness Extra Stout v. PBR, etc. ;) .

I think any liquid would be fine however its always nice to day we cooked with beer tonight!

The jury is still out in my kitchen! I think cooking some up in a separate tin and then adding to the sandwich might be a good option if spicy is not preferred. I'm going to try again with one to see.

You living in the Chicago area you can appreciate jardiniere peppers. I think it would be a great idea. I will say when we ate these the best way to describe the taste was a combo between Chicago style Italian beef sandwiches and pot roast with a kick all on a bun! I really enjoyed them and I hope others do as well. Vince

Just got back from Mejier. Got the biggest chuck roast they had, 2.86lbs. Should be enough for 4 plus kids. But a little dissapointed, because I was hoping for LOTS of left overs. :D This will go on the smoker around 9:30 am tomorrow. I'll have to look around at other store's chuck roasts for future smokes.

Just got half a cow butchered and got a few chuck roast so GAME ON! Pron will follow, just have a napkin handy to catch the drool, just saturated my shirt looking at these pics, haha.

I always like to make things that are easy for parties and this dish is just that. I think this will be a great dish for your party! Please let us know how it turns out.

I got mine from wally world however I normally do not see them at any stores where they are much bigger than 4lbs. I have read where others buy a "whole chuck roll". These cuts are very large and I believe the smaller roasts we buy come from this cut. If I remember correctly the whole roll could be up to 30 lbs depending on its size. That would probably make plenty of leftovers for the freezer! I think most guys will make them in the 15-20 lb if doing this for a large party or when freezing it for future meals. Please let us know how it turns out and pictures are always welcome around here!

I made a version of this last night using a lot of fresh cut sage and a dry red wine instead of the Guinness for more of an Italian Beef flavor. Turned out great, thank you Vince. Here's a pic prior to shreading.

That looks great Niel. Thanks for sharing. Vince

So yesterday I gathered up the ingredients and one the smoker it went. I used a 2.86 lb Angus Chuck Roast from Mejier, which was the biggest one they had. For the peppers, I switched from 3 jalapenos to 2 Anaheim peppers to reduce the heat for others in my house. Cooked per the instructions.

The results were really good. I served with provolone and a little giardinier. It had great smokey flavor mixed with the stout and peppers. I think it actually could have used a little jalapeno pepper, it was missing that zip. My wife agreed. Next time I'll use at least a half a jalapeno. Yes, this will be made again!

Thanks Vince for posting this great recipe!

Ryan those pic's look almost like you copied and pasted mine! Nice job. Looks like you had a nice smoke ring judging by the pictures. Thanks for sharing. Vince

[Mr. Bo]

Great recipe. I'm always looking for new ways to smoke chuck roasts.

Yeah, but I used fancy cheese!

I guess I read your post enough times that when I went to take my pictures you were subliminally telling me how to stage the pictures.

Keep on keeping on.

That there is just funny I don't care who you are! If I could put 10 "thanks" under your last post I would of. The wife and I were rolling when I read it to her. Thanks again buddy! Vince

I made this on Halloween and gave out slider size sammies to the parents as treats. They came out great, and were a hugh hit!

[flyingv4me]

Tasty looking, if I do say so! Gotta try that!
