Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 # Chuck Roast
  • Kosher Salt
  • Seasoning of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Pat your chuck roast dry, and trim off any extra fat.
  • Place your roast on a rack on a baking sheet.
  • Dry brine your roast by sprinkling all sides generously with kosher salt, and allow it to sit overnight in your fridge.
  • While your smoker is heating up, season your roast generously - I used my Beef & Game Rub. It's a large chunk of meat, so you're not very likely to over season it.
  • When your smoker reaches it's proper temperature, place the roast in with a temperature probe inserted into the thickest part.
  • Smoke your roast, slowly, to 160-170 degrees. Than remove it from the smoker and wrap in foil. Reinsert your thermometer and place your roast into a 250 degree oven.
  • Take the roast up to 203 degrees, and then turn the temperature in your oven down to 180 degrees and hold it for 2 hours.
  • Unwrap the roast (carefully! don't lose any juice!) and place it on a cutting board. Slice, shred or chop the meat. Add any juice you caught and pour it back over the meat.
  • Serve as is, on sandwiches, or on tortillas, with sides such as Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw or Elote.
