Did my first Chuck on my PBC....Wowzers! Probably going to blaspheme here but dare I say I like it better than brisket? At 160, laid on a luxurious bed of thick cut sweet onion with a couple on top then wrapped. ~190 it probed soft as can be...Rough chopped along with the now perfectly caramalized onions and some of the soft, gooey fat then mixed back into the ju left in the foil...Pure magic! I used Black Ops rub on this one but plain ol S&P would have been just fine. Man, so good! If you haven't yet, you gotta.

I will never go back to brisket for my own personal meals. Chuck burnt ends put brisket to shame.

That looks awesome.

Might I also suggest some killer Barbacoa, a la Steve King (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3454913&postcount=6) in the future. It'll knock your socks off!

Keep rockin', brother.

Man, I was just at gfs on Friday to grab a twin pack of pbutts for today's smoke sesh and I saw the chucks in cryovac packs. Kind of looked like beef plate ribs without the bones. I put them back because I hadn't seen them before but after this post I will be going back to grab a pack for this coming weekend.

Yours looks awesome.

Oh heck yeah. Chuck roast is freaking awesome BBQ'ed. I do like it better than brisket. Almost zero waste and no trimming.

What temp do you cube at? Still 200 and then back on just to set the glaze?

Guess "Chuck" may well be the new "Brisket" for many!

I can smoke chuck to be juicy and very tasty but it seems to dry out almost immediately after being sliced or pulled. Even when using choice grade. I will usually use chuck when I plan on adding sauce to it for bbq beef sammies. An easy and economical way to feed a crowd.

Here's a bit of a complicated approach, but it keeps them chuckies moist, and is always delicious. https://dizzypigbbq.com/recipe/clays-pulled-beef/

I like chuck When I wrap it I raise it on aluminum foil balls and put beer in with the veggies- so good

Beautiful! I've only wrapped them in foil--never Butcher's paper. Wonder if there is the same kind of difference between the two that there is in brisket.

That looks amazing! Never, ever tried a chuck before, but that is going to change soon!
