Instructions
Prep Like a Pro
Start by patting the chuck roast dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create your dry rub.
Generously coat the chuck roast with the dry rub, making sure to cover all sides evenly. Don't be shy with the seasoning—this is where the flavor magic happens!
Once seasoned, let the chuck roast sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fire Up the Pit Boss
Preheat your Pit Boss grill to 225°F, using wood chips or pellets of your choice for that signature smoky flavor. Hickory is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment!
Once the grill is up to temperature, place the seasoned chuck roast directly on the grill grates.
Get Smokin'
Close the lid of the grill and let the chuck roast cook low and slow for about 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of around 200°F. This is where a meat thermometer comes in handy—keep an eye on that temperature like a hawk!
Every hour or so, check on the chuck roast and add more wood chips or pellets to keep the smoke flowing.
Patience, Grasshopper
Once the chuck roast reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and wrap it loosely in aluminum foil.
Let the roast rest for about 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to intensify.
Rest and Carve
After resting, unwrap the chuck roast and transfer it to a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roast against the grain into thin slices.
Serve the sliced chuck roast with your favorite barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
