Chuck roast vs. Cross Rib Roast

[MS2SB]

Hello Brethren,
I've got some family coming into town this week and pulled beef is on the menu for one night. I have a cross rib roast and a chuck roast in the freezer from a portion of cow I bought last fall. Any thoughts on which works better for pulled beef sandwiches?

Chuck IMHO.

Chuck IMHO.

Any reasoning behind it?

I think the chuck has more flavor for pulled and is a little more forgiving. I like the cross rib for sliced beef sandwiches.

Ditto on the chuck plus it has a great texture for pulling.

Chuck is the best in my opinion as well , great beefy flavor and takes on the smoke really well��
