How to Make Smoked Chuck Roast on Pit Boss

Picture this: a tender chuck roast, perfectly seasoned and kissed by the smoke of your Pit Boss grill. It’s a thing of beauty, my friends. Here’s how to make it happen:

  1. Prep Like a Pro: Start by patting that chuck roast dry with some paper towels. Then, generously coat it with your favorite rub. I’m talkin’ garlic powder, onion powder, paprika—get creative with it! Don’t forget to let it sit for a bit to soak up all those flavors.
  2. Fire Up the Pit Boss: Now, it’s time to get that Pit Boss grill smokin’ hot! Set it to around 225°F and let it preheat while you prep the meat.
  3. Get Smokin’: Once your grill is up to temp, toss that chuck roast on there like a boss. Close the lid and let the magic happen. Oh, and don’t forget to throw some wood chips or pellets on the fire for that extra smoky goodness.
  4. Patience, Grasshopper: Now comes the hard part—waiting. You’ll want to let that chuck roast cook low and slow for about 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of around 200°F. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!
  5. Rest and Carve: Once your chuck roast is done cooking, resist the temptation to dive right in. Let it rest for a bit to lock in all those juicy flavors. Then, slice it up nice and thin and get ready to feast!

What type of wood/pellets to use for this recipe?

When it comes to wood or pellets for your Pit Boss chuck roast, you’ve got options, my friend. Personally, I’m a fan of hickory for that classic smoky flavor, but feel free to experiment! Oak, mesquite, apple—each wood brings its own unique twist to the table. So go ahead, mix and match until you find your perfect combo.
