Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Seasoning Mix:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For BBQ Glaze:
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F and prepare the wood chips for smoking.

- powder, and cayenne pepper to create the seasoning mix.
- Rub the avocado oil all over the chuck roast, then generously apply the seasoning mix to all sides of the roast, pressing it into the meat.
- Place the seasoned chuck roast on the smoker grates, fat-side up, and close the smoker lid.
- Smoke the chuck roast for approximately 1 hour per pound, maintaining a consistent temperature of 250°F throughout the smoking process. For a 3-4 pound roast, this will take around 3-4 hours.
- In a small saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until well combined and warmed through.
- When the internal temperature of the chuck roast reaches 165°F, remove the roast and cube it into bite size pieces.
- Return the roast to a foil pan and pour the sauce on top. Toss to coat the beef in the sauce mixture.
- Place the pan back into the smoker and continue smoking until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 200-205°F for a tender, pull-apart texture and the sauce has caramelized. This may take an additional 1-2 hours.
- Remove the smoked chuck roast from the smoker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the smoked chuck roast hot and enjoy!
Notes
Towards the end of cooking, keep an eye on the caramelization to get a crispy exterior without
burning the beef.
