You could call it a blend between a smoked steak and a smoked brisket. I have even wrapped one in peach butcher paper, turned out amazing. I too, am traveling to the east.
Brisket used to be the poor man's chuck. Most butchers used to just grind brisket up into hamburger until barbecue made it popular. When prepared the same way, chuck is better, always.
I saw this video about a year ago, ran across it again yesterday and decided to try it today. I was not disappointed it was a little quicker cook and it came out perfect, this will be my chuck roast recipe from now on ! Thx
I remember when brisket was the poor man's brisket... Love chuck roast man, nice job. On the pecan pronunciation, I watched a video about a pecan producer and the interviewer asked him what the correct pronunciation was and the grower said "I don't care what you call them as long you buy them". Seemed like sage advice to me.
Alrighty, here we go. First off, I watched a dozen videos on RUclips trying to figure out what the hell to do with a chuck roast I had. Clearly, I was tired of the classc pot roast, and was wanting to spice things up in my life. After settling on smoking the poor man's brisket, and watching inumerable videos, I came across this hunk of a man's video. And needless to say, I wasnt let down. I started off with what I had lying around for a rub. Some Oakridge BBQ Black Ops Brisket Rub, and then followed his steps. I was skeptical, to say the least, of Lawry's and Campbell's as a moisturizer, but my oh my how I was wrong to even question this magicians wizardry. Not only did it turn out succulent and tasty, with a great bark. The remaining drippings were turned into a "poor man's au jus". Needless to say, my girl was the happiest she's been in weeks and ate most of it before I could go for seconds. God Save The Queen on this one! If you can make something as underrated as a chuck roast this friggin delicious, then I can't wait to watch every single one of your other recipes, and follow along! Definitely will be checking out your rubs and seasoning sooner than later, and you my friend, have made a dear friend become dearer and dearer one bite at a time. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this.
Followed this step by step only added about 1.5 hour rest in the oven at 170 when finished, absolutely killed this recipe. Thanks man. Ran the pan sauce thru fat seperator, makes some amazing tacos with au jus. For roughly $25 worth of groceries this is hard to beat.
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I just made this last night, I did not have your spices though. Made it like my briskets, holy s**t. 110% outstanding. Thank you so much. 60107 says hello.
Great job. I haven't cooked a chuck roast, but I've smoked a whole chuck roll numerous times. Gives brisket a run for it's money. Chuck is very underrated. Thx again for posting.
I made this same chuck roast in a nuwave oven in about an hour and it looked just like this one once done. There are tricks to it but Everyone loved it.
It's so funny... at one time brisket was the poor man's brisket! Now it's so crazy! You've solved the dilemma! This was a pretty fantastic technique and the end result sure looks right. I'm all about using those "unpopular" cuts too, trying to make the most of the animal, so this just seems like an excellent idea all around. Beautifully done John!
Great video! Chuck roast is so versatile. I have thinly sliced it like a deli would for some killer roast beef sandwiches, I have cooked it like brisket as you've done, and I have taken the chuck up to 205°F and pulled it. I can't find a really fatty chuck roast in my parts. Most chucks are a hunk of lean meat which means I have to cook then creatively to get them tender. Great video man!!!
Bro. After watching pretty much every smoked chuck roast recipe on RUclips, finally found one that is cooked like a brisket! Wrapped past the stall, cooked til 195 to 205. I could even see the drip of the brisket when you did the bend test. Awesome job, I wanted to see what it would taste and look like. Wish I could see more close up of the meat slices though
Funny enough I grabbed a chuck roast on sale earlier at the grocery stire and figured I would try cooking it like brisket, because why not? Google search turned up this video- so I can see it has been done before with skill. Im not using a smoker (well kind of the grill can smoke but using it charcoal mode with smoke to cook- just more heat). Popped it in 75 minutes- checked it and dropped bbq sauce and lawrys signature steakhouse (amazing stuff always a muat on-hand item if you grill beef a lot!). Usually Ill do a pork shoulder for brisket- but since beef chuck was on sale I hunted the one with moat marbling I could find and now its on the final 75 minutes wrapped with the sig steakhouse and a solid bbq sauce. Thanka for the video! Found it mid cook as curiosity got to me- as always when I experiment cook to see if I need to do any adjustments (Cook's OCD, as in I overworry and get OCD when cooking only 😂 lol).
Hey, I usea pan like that all the time to help out I put a wire rack over the pan and set the meat on top. I get the drippings and I get smoke all around my meat.
I just got my hands on a beautiful 4 pound Braveheart angus chuck roast that was on sale for $4.99 LB. I wanted to try and smoke it like a brisket. I am definitely taking some cues from this video! Thanks for sharing!!
@@SkullandMortar it was my first time smoking a chuck roast. And it definitely will not be my last! I honestly thought it was just as good, if not better than a brisket in my smoker! Thanks for all of the tips!
Awesome video! Chuck is such a versatile cut of meat. I've smoked it for shredded tacos, for sloppy joes, for chili, grounded it as a part of my hamburger mix, basically you can use it to make pretty much anything. That being said, I haven't tried it as a brisket. I will definitely give that a go.
After watching a few of these poor man's brisket using a chuck roast I decided to try it. It ain't no brisket! Not enough fat to keep the meat juicy. Next time I'll try to sear both sides and smoke for an hour or two. From there it will be cooked as a pot roast.
Just did this yesterday. Mine took 12 hours after hitting a smoke wall at 130 for around 4 hours. I was starting to second guess the cook but after it finally finished, holy crap this is pretty damn close to brisket at a fraction of the price. Beautiful smoke ring and great char. This will be a regular at my house now with how cheap this cut of meat is. My only advice is start this early in the morning since there’s a high likelihood it’ll take longer than 3 hours
What’s giant? I’d say mine was around 3 pounds. They were on sale at my local grocery store for like half price so i bought a grip of them not knowing what to do but now I’m glad i have a plan. It finished around 11pm last night so i didn’t get to eat it fresh but it was delicious. It was the most food I’ve seen my 10 month old gobble up. He couldn’t shove enough in his mouth lol
I liked it BUT you kind of left out the important moments started out in the pan but at 160 you wrapped it did just put it back on the rack ? Or in the pan ? Im going to do one ...
Thanks for watching and commenting. At 160 I leave it in the pan and then add the “mop” liquid and close the pan in foil. Let me know how yours turns out!
@@SkullandMortar I made tonight on a Kamado Kettle I'm still getting used to. Flavor (hickory smoking chunks with Kingsford bricks) was outstanding. Think we let it rest too long in the pan (probably 2 hours). Was a tad bit overdone by the time we got to it. Will try again for sure only this time will try to crack into it well before 2 hours of rest.
You can do this the same way in your oven. The only difference will be the lack of smoke flavor. You can try adding some liquid smoke, but I’d probably just skip it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing! I want to try this method and then dice it up for chili and maybe some French dip style sandwiches. I bet all the drippings in the pan make a great Au jus. How big was your roast to start?
You cold always use beef stock or double up on the marinade. You basically are just looking for moisture that creates a more dynamic beef flavor. Thanks for watching dude!
This is my favorite chuck roast recipe! Question - With my Traeger set on 225 my MEATER ambient temp is considerably lower Should I turn the Traeger up to achieve 225 ambient on the MEATER??
Hello Sir. I am new to the pellet world. I use a Smokey Joe's stick burner for years. Trying to learn this side. I have my Chuck roast defrosting right now. 205 internal. What made me actually leave a comment here was the ring on your ring finger. what you know about that? lol Salute Square!. I'm doing something close to this in a few hours. Salute
Cool tunes, great narration, cute gloves. I learned something, THANKS!!! BTW....it's pee-can. ask any southerner. Born and raised in the South, last 30+ years, Alaskan. Go figure.
@@sfiv1987 Maybe not the smell from the actual items being cooked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the technology that Disney patented makes its way into our homes at some point. Just imagine having various vials of chemicals that be synchronized with a movie or TV show and computer-controlled to mix and emit blasts of smells meant to approximate what's being seen on screen. There was something called Smell-O-Vision in the 1960s, some similar technologies in the 1950s, and the general concept of using smell for performances goes back to the latter 1800s.
@@sfiv1987 I get migraines from fake chemical smells like air fresheners, so I'd rather have a time machine, anyway. But, definitely not holding my breath. I'll be dead before time travel becomes a reality, if it ever does.
It’s my first video. I’m a brisket guy looking for a small “faux brisket” recipe. I was all with you until you wrapped and souped it. My question is can I do this with this without the wrap and soup. And btw again Texan here. It’s our state tree. It’s pronounced Puh-con. Pee-can, is northern eastern US. It is also WRONG!
I appreciate you watching. You definitely can, but I’d suggest you give it a try, all of those things are beef base and they increase the intensity of the beef flavor. Chuck just naturally doesn’t have the rich enough flavor to really mimicking brisket on its own.
Okay, so I've got a question for my man! Bought some chuck steaks today, and looking for great ideas, figured you were the guy to come to after how greatly this recipe turned out. What should I do with a chuck steak? (Method of cooking/marinade/any tips of tricks you got for a poor man's ribeye). Anything will help, please and thanks!
@@SkullandMortar awesomeness, thanks bud. Will try the sous vide route, always forget I have that lying around. Then finish off reverse sear. Don't have any msg lying around unfortunately. Still have to check out your website, about to head that way. Thanks again brother, love the quick responses!
If you have good airflow it’ll roll over it for sure. I’ve never had an issue tasting the smoke like this. I’m also of the mindset “less is more” when it comes to this stuff.
@Skull and Mortar I made this with a chunk of white oak firewood in my webber kettle because my offset was buried in the snow. I even had to finish it in the oven after wrapping because it was so cold and windy out. The internal temps you gave were spot on and it really did taste like a brisket! Ty for sharing such a great recipe!
Once smoked, when you have sealed it up with foil, what's the difference between putting it in the smoker and putting it in the oven? Sounds like a waste of smoke and effort.
A smoker is basically a smoking oven, so there isn’t really. Purists will hate it, but do what works best for you. Most of my smokers have temperature control mechanisms on them so it’s no biggie for me, but I get it if you have to nurse the fire.
I hope you guys liked this video. Chuck roast is a super under rated cut of meat. Let me know what you do with yours.
I do mine straight on the grill and it comes out great. I will try your method. By the way, nice ring on your right hand.
Awesome man! Are you cooking yours like a steak basically? Thanks man. Just doing my part on my way to the east.
You could call it a blend between a smoked steak and a smoked brisket. I have even wrapped one in peach butcher paper, turned out amazing. I too, am traveling to the east.

What makes a chuck roast dry out? Mine always dry out.

There was something called Smell-O-Vision in the 1960s, some similar technologies in the 1950s, and the general concept of using smell for performances goes back to the latter 1800s.
@@karlhungus5554 until we can figure out time travel. Until then. Don't hold your breath
@@sfiv1987 I get migraines from fake chemical smells like air fresheners, so I'd rather have a time machine, anyway. But, definitely not holding my breath. I'll be dead before time travel becomes a reality, if it ever does.
I dont have a smoker or grill, how can I cook this in the oven?
You can cook it the exact same way, it just won’t have the smoke flavor. Thanks for watching!
Definitely need to give this a whirl. Looks boss! How much longer after you wrapped did it take to get it to 205° for curiosity sake?
Took about 3 more hours. Thanks for the love and thanks for watching!
Looks delicious brother!! Did you let it rest after you pulled it off?
Yessir. I let the smaller cuts rest about 30-60 mins.
Bout to pull mine off the grill 😁
I hope you loved it man!
@@SkullandMortar it was bomb! Thank you for the content 😎
how long did you let it rest?
I usually let the smaller cuts rest about 30 mins. Thanks for watching!
It’s my first video. I’m a brisket guy looking for a small “faux brisket” recipe. I was all with you until you wrapped and souped it. My question is can I do this with this without the wrap and soup.
And btw again Texan here. It’s our state tree. It’s pronounced Puh-con.
Pee-can, is northern eastern US. It is also WRONG!
I appreciate you watching. You definitely can, but I’d suggest you give it a try, all of those things are beef base and they increase the intensity of the beef flavor. Chuck just naturally doesn’t have the rich enough flavor to really mimicking brisket on its own.
Nice video, how big was the starting Chuck roast?
You know, I honestly didn't even look, but about 3lbs or so? Thanks for watching!
Hey bud back again with the questions. Can you use a bottom round roast instead of a chuck roast for this poor man's brisket recipe?
I don’t see why not. Might want to inject it with some tallow or something. As for questions, ask any time man!
@@SkullandMortar thanks man just foiled it up, we shall see. Keep ya posted
looks delishous
Thanks man!
Hey bro, you don't hold any punches do you 😂
We go in hard around here 😂
@@SkullandMortar that's the only way
Wow! You made that chuck roast look amazing!
Thank you! I appreciate the support
4:42 this made me laugh hard! 😂
I’m here for the 😂
Okay, so I've got a question for my man! Bought some chuck steaks today, and looking for great ideas, figured you were the guy to come to after how greatly this recipe turned out. What should I do with a chuck steak? (Method of cooking/marinade/any tips of tricks you got for a poor man's ribeye). Anything will help, please and thanks!
I’d probably marinade it for sure, then use msg in my rub, and reverse sear or sous vide then sear. That would probably give you your best result.
@@SkullandMortar awesomeness, thanks bud. Will try the sous vide route, always forget I have that lying around. Then finish off reverse sear. Don't have any msg lying around unfortunately. Still have to check out your website, about to head that way. Thanks again brother, love the quick responses!
@@rhettwilkins9446 No problem man. Hope it helps.
@@SkullandMortar Also, how would you marinade?
@@rhettwilkins9446 The easiest thing you can use is italian dressing. Easy classic.
Alright, you sold me on your chuck roast and God Save the Queen rub! Strange request though, if I order your rub, would you throw in an autograph?
Hell yeah man! You won’t be disappointed, snd absolutely. I’d be honored. Just shoot me a message when you order reminding me.
@@SkullandMortar just placed my order, name is Jim Simmons in Wesley Chapel, FL. Already have Malcom Reed’s autograph and would love to add yours!
@@Bigslimjim81 Malcom is the RUclips BBQ GOAT. I’m extremely honored you want my name next to his.
Poor Andy 😂
😂
That pan is blocking all that good smoke tho
If you have good airflow it’ll roll over it for sure. I’ve never had an issue tasting the smoke like this. I’m also of the mindset “less is more” when it comes to this stuff.
Awesome video boss
Thanks man! Much appreciated.
I need the Info on that knife bro
How long did u rest it
45 min - 1hr. Thanks for watching!
🤙
Where’d you get that shirt?
My wife made it. I think we are going to do skull and mortar ones soon.
@@SkullandMortar, yes please, I love it and would definitely purchase!
I did it, only a few slices were close to Brisket, smoked about 8 hours, still a tough piece of meat.
Did you try this method?
@@SkullandMortar not exactly
@@gregshuffield1976 I can only tell you it works if you follow the steps.
Damn...Chum Lee can cook!!! 😋
We clearly look a like. I’ll take the compliment though. Good enough.
@Skull and Mortar I made this with a chunk of white oak firewood in my webber kettle because my offset was buried in the snow. I even had to finish it in the oven after wrapping because it was so cold and windy out. The internal temps you gave were spot on and it really did taste like a brisket! Ty for sharing such a great recipe!
@@0713mas hell yeah man! I appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for being on the squad, even if you think I look like chum Lee lol.
I'm on a time budget. What are the ingredients in the God save the queen?
I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m not going to give out the recipe to a product we sell. You can sub out Montreal steak seasoning or an spg rub.
@@SkullandMortar Montreal Steak sounds good enough for being a short notice. Thanks man.
This is better than brisket.
I can definitely see that argument. I still prefer brisket, but I love this too.
Once smoked, when you have sealed it up with foil, what's the difference between putting it in the smoker and putting it in the oven?
Sounds like a waste of smoke and effort.
A smoker is basically a smoking oven, so there isn’t really. Purists will hate it, but do what works best for you. Most of my smokers have temperature control mechanisms on them so it’s no biggie for me, but I get it if you have to nurse the fire.
Also thanks for watching!
