Categories     Main Course

Time 8h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3-4 lb Chuck Roast
Olive Oil or Yellow Mustard (to apply rub with)
3 Tbsp Kosher Salt
2 Tbsp Fresh black pepper
2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cayenne (optional, for spice)
1 Cup Beef Broth or Stock for spraying
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat from the exterior of the chuck roast. Trim any fat cap down to 1/4" thickness.
  • Score the fat cap with a meat knife in 2 directions perpendicular to each other.
  • In a bowl, mix all the Beef Rub ingredients.
  • Cover your chuck roast with a thin layer of olive oil or yellow mustard, then generously apply your rub to coat the entire exterior of the meat.
  • Wrap your chuck roast in plastic wrap and place it back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Load the hopper of the Traeger with your chosen wood pellets.
  • Turn on the Traeger and move the dial to the "Smoke" setting.
  • Leave the lid open for 5-7 minutes until you start seeing white billowing smoke coming out of the grill. This means the initial pellets are igniting.
  • Close the lid and turn the temperature dial to 250°F. Allow 10-15 minutes for the grill to come up to temperature.
  • Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and from the plastic wrap. Add some additional leftover rub if any came off, and when the Traeger has reached 250°F, place your meat directly on grill.
  • Place a leave in thermometer inside the roast making sure to not touch the bone.
  • Close the lid to the Traeger. Every hour you can optionally spray the exterior of the meat with the beef broth and worcestershire mixture for additional moisture and flavor.
  • Cook the chuck roast until it reaches about 150-160°F internally.
  • At this point you can leave the chuck roast on the Traeger to continue cooking or remove it and wrap it in foil to speed up the cooking time.
  • Carefully remove the chuck roast and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Wrap the brisket in opposing directions with three layers of foil, tightly.
  • Replace the temperature probe and place back on the Traeger.
  • Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches between 197°-203°F.
  • Once the internal temperature hits 197°-203°F, remove the roast from the smoker and place in an empty aluminum pan. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
  • Pull your smoked chuck roast using a pair or forks or bear claws. Discard any large pieces of fat and the bone.
  • After you finish pulling the smoked pot roast, taste for saltiness and add salt and pepper, leftover rub, and/or some beef stock as needed.
  • Serve immediately or incorporate into another recipe requiring smoked pulled or shredded beef.
