I had been wanting to make this for so long and finally gave it a go! It turned out perfectly sweet and smokey and super tender. It was so tasty so I’m sharing my recipe with you to try!

Ingredients:

  • 1 chuck roast (mine was about 1.5-2 pounds and made about 5 servings)
  • Beef rub (I used this one!)
  • 1 cup of bbq sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of honey (use local honey!)

Directions:

  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees
  • Rub your chuck roast with your beef rub. You want to make sure to coat it evenly and rub it to make sure all the seasoning is moist.
  • Once your smoker is up to temp place the roast directly on the grate.
  • Let smoke for an hour and then flip it to ensure it cooks evenly. Then cook another hour or until 165 degrees.
  • Then you will remove the roast and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • While it is cooling mix your BBQ sauce, honey, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • Then cut your roast into 1 inch pieces and place in a foil pan.
  • Pour your sauce mixture over the meat and stir until coated.
  • Cover the pan with foil and place back in the smoker for 1.5-2 hours or until the meat is tender.
  • Remove and serve immediately!

Notes:

Cooking time definitely varies based on the size of your roast. If you have a larger roast I would recommend doing 250 degrees as well as increasing the time.

I used a plain BBQ sauce and added the brown sugar and honey. You can use less if you don’t want it to be as sweet.
