BRISKET STYLE CHUCK ROAST | How to smoke a Poor Man's Brisket on Pit Boss Austin XL 

Love your videos not everyone can afford a brisket at these inflated prices ...but I love that you experiment with different cuts of meat that is what a good cook is all about . Great video !

Sprinkle Kitty! Where else can you get great smoking ideas and be entertained at the same time? Thank you for being a real person and please keep doing what you do!

Sprinkle kitty - I love your quirky BBQ nerd style. There can never be enough girl power in BBQ. Keep on being you. Now I need to find a chuck roast to smoke.

Sprinkle Kitty. Loved watching the cook. I’ll have to try it out soon.

nice work Sprinkle! looks perfect and will be my go to when the family wants brisket style meat on a short timeline. thanks again and keep up the great work!

Sprinkle Kitty - I did one of those this past weekend and it was about 3.5 lbs. Pellet smoker set at 225F, sprayed every 30-45 min with apple juice. I wrapped at 160F and it too seemed to take a really long time for the temp to rise. I bumped the smoker up to 250F after cooking for a couple hours wrapped up and after about a total of 9 hours we hit 195F. I turned the grill off and cranked up my oven and set for 180F and let the chuck roast rest in the oven for about an hour. My temp of the roast came down from 195 to 180F in that time. I unwrapped the roast and it was a little juicy, but it cut tough and while it had a great bark on it, the meat was a little dry and a little tough. I'm thinking I probably should have cooked hotter for less time. Anyway, it tasted good when reheated in a pot on Med heat with a little water added. It did get a little more tender, but nothing like my prior briskets. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I too use thermoworks probes and temp gauges so I know my smoker temps and meat temps are accurate throughout the cook. Next time, Higher heat, earlier wrap like 145F, and a little faster cook which I think will help the meat be more tender and hold the moisture better. Thanks for sharing, it looks great! (but your right, it's nowhere near brisket good, LOL)

During rest I always make sure I maintain an EXTERNAL temperature of at least 138F. (usually 145-150 to account for spatial and temporal variation) I usually rest for a long time in a turkey oven, but this is especially true in a cambro or cooler. The meat is heating the air, the opposite direction of cooking. Also the surface of the meat is more likely contaminated at start of cook (although probably pretty clean by end). For same reason I never put probe into center of meat when cold, i wait until I think the center is above 140 since you are bringing surface germs into internal parts. Most pathogen contamination is surface contamination during processing, it is not from the internal blood of the animal. Main reason chopped meat can be problematic. Loved your video, great energy.

I love the goofy things you do right before you throw in transitions in the video. Thanx for the video! Giving the smoked chuck roast a shot today.

Great video. I too recently smoked a Chuck roast. It was delicious, but good lord did it take all day to do! The lesson being to cook it at a slightly higher temp, maybe 300 degrees instead of aiming for 200 or 250. That’s the only way I can see one of these smoking in four to five hours. They are delicious in place of a more expensive brisket. Cook up nice and tender too. Great video! Good cook!

Briskets here where I live are excellent. I just bought a 26lb brisket for 2.89lb. Great deal!

Thanks for the video. Make another one please. I like your style. I am making a chuck roast tonight. Mine has been on the Traeger 3 hours now at 225. Its temp was now at 142. I bumped it up to 250. I want it at 150 or so to wrap.Hope mine turns out as good as yours.

Sprinkle Kitty and I love your vids keep it up! I am doing two huge chuck roasts tomorrow (3.74 and 3.93 lbs) and based on your vid decided to start at 0800 because I know it might take longer than I want! And The last few times I did chuck roast like a brisket it took forever lol.

Sticking thru lol the video. You did a good job. I was looking at brisket yesterday but it didn't look like a nice cut and was kinda green lol. Passed. Plus it would be my first brisket to smoke but price was 73 dollars and just not a good cut . Will go back after a better cut is in and not green. But for a practice run.. a chuck wouldn't be a bad idea .. plus it's winter time and my smoker is charcoal so the wait time is definitely going to take longer lol it's 19degree out. Maybe il try this first to see how well the smoker holds temperature in this weather

Sprinkle Kitty. Because of you, I bought a PB V3 1150. Now you have me drooling over the Brunswick! Thanks for vids.

That's the most entertaining instructional smoker video I've ever watched lol

Quite the entertainer you are Sprinkle Kitty!!! Something I've learned from a friend when cooking larger pieces of meat. May I suggest adding an aluminum water pan to the smoker, before putting the meat in, get the smoker up to 350° to get the water up to temperature, when it hit's that temp, reduce to your cooking temp. This adds humidity to the cook chamber, and may help expedite the cook time! I love your video, and I just saw the Smoked / Dutch over method, I will try both!

Smoked chuck roast...the poor man's brisket! I've served many a smoked chuck roast to friends (even Texans) and made no qualms in telling telling them what it was. Although I've never had anyone say it was better than brisket, many have said it was just as good as some brisket they've had (I can believe it, as I've had a lot of so-so brisket in my time). Thanks for the video!

Sprinkle kitty 🎉 awesome as always , so I’m learning the pellets grill takes longer the my master built smokers

Very good video! Pointing out the actual cook time is so important. . These cuts seem to be unpredictable. I never smoke whan I'm pressed for time thats for sure. I am sorry but I refuse to say sprinkle kitty.. Thanks Mazie

when a man smokes a brisket he has bragging rights at work the next day lol thats a mighty fine chuck. nice job Mazie

Sprinkle kitty. I like your honesty on the cooking process. Looks good!

Sprinkle Kitty I love your videos and your personality. I Googled smoked cream cheese and met you! It doesn't hurt that you are hotter than your smoker temp when you do a cook!

I call it the "Busy Man's Brisket" !! Thanks will finally try ths

Enjoyed this very much. Thank you

Great video! I'm actually in the process of messing up my first Chuck roast on my Weber with a slow and sear. After watching your video, the next one will be amazing. Sprinkle Kitty!

Good HONEST video. I’ve tried 3 times (225/250/275°)(5/7/9hrs) (foil /butcher paper/aluminum pan covered) I can’t keep it juicy/tender enough for my liking. Great taste…but the only way I can enjoy it is shredded and used for tacos, burritos or pizza. I won’t quit trying though. Ps. I watched til the end 😊

putting some sprinkle kitty on a roast. i'll have to try it!

Another great vid! Thanks sprinkle kitty! Gonna have to try the chuck roast sometime. You're right brisket prices are getting crazzzzy!

Sprinkle Kitty my first watching you. Will watch more. I got a chuck roast today. Looking for ways to cook it. Thank.

Sprinkle kitty! Awesome video on the chuck roast. Good way to save some money when you’ve got a hankering for some brisket. Thanks for sharing

I do 250 until 160-165, then wrap and bump to 300, works good for me. Also I rest mine in oven at 170 for an hour, then out covered for another hour

Sprinkle Kitty! I'm new to smoking and loving my Pit Boss! I've watched several of your videos and can't wait to try your recipes!

Sprinkle kitty. I cooked one a couple of weeks ago, came out delicious. 😋

Sprinkle Kitty, Another awesome video! I grew up eating this cost effective cut, we use it to make stir fries and certain stews.

How long is too long for the "rest" period in the cooler?

Sprinkle kitty. As I type, I’m smoking a roast for the first time ever!

I just saw one of your shorts and you said " taters " so enjoyed hearing you say that

Live way up in the hills,never even heard of treating a chuck R,this way.BUT after watching this kitty,getting in my truck an trying to find a CHUCK ROAST,. ASAP! Lighting green egg next 5.5 minutes.

Sprinkle kitty trying this one out this Father’s Day weekend

Sprinkle Kitty. Awesome to watch. Thanks for sharing the adventures

Sprinkle Kitty! I’ve never really thought about that as a replacement for brisket but it is just a big chunk of meat! Thank you for the idea of an alternative!

SPRINKLE KITTY. What type of stainless table are you using outdoors?

Sprinkle Kitty love watching you cook and have fun doing so.

Sprinkle Kitty. What wood pellets do you recommend for smoking a roast?

Sprinkle kitty just found your site. Will try the Chuck roast

sprinkle kitty... Great job did this for Mothers day !

New Sub Here! Sprinkle Kitty! This video was awesome and I love your energy! Great dance moves too! Smoke on, sister!

Sprinkle Kitty! Thanks for the great and entertaining videos.

Sprinkle Kitty: Great video!

Sprinkle kitty makes awesome beef n cheddars too

SPRINKLE KITTY Resting right now cant wait

Sprinkle kitty 😂 Can’t wait to try it out. Looks great!

Sprinkle Kitty, thanks Mazie I have to try this .

Sprinkle Kitty. Going to try the briskroast. Thanks

Nice video, smoking a chuck roast tomorrow.

Just bought my first Pitt Boss. Enjoyed your video! Sprinkle Kitty!

Sprinkle kitty. So i noticed when you open your smoker I didnt see any actual smoke. Do pellet grills just not produce alot of smoke?

New Subscriber here. That looks really great i just made a video with an Angus chuck roast and it was really good. This is a great choice or meat with briskets being so expensive. Thanks for sharing. Sprinkle Kitty!

Sprinkle Kitty- Have you ever put beef tallow on it then wrapped it?

Sprinkle kitty. Getting ready to try my first chuck roast on my Shirley fabrication 24x36 reverse flow smoker. Just hoping it turns our well because I'm smoking one for a friend also. Hope we're still friends when I'm done with it! Been torn between using a pan and just wrapping, but I think I'm just going to wrap. For a spritz I'm going to use equal parts of water, apple cider vinegar, and Moore's marinade. Wish me luck! Hope the soccer game went well!

Just found your videos and love everyone. They are very very helpful as I am new smoking meats 🍖 BBQ on...😊

Sprinkle kitty. Enjoyed your video and energy. Do feel like you wrapped the meat a little early though, which could be why it stalled for so long? Maybe wrapping at 170 would be better?

Fun video. I just subscribed. Thx! Scott

SPRINKLE KITTY! Great video. You’re a nut. 😂

You are definitely Amaze-ing

I love how all the chuck roasts experiences are the same, they take way longer than we want them too. 😂. It’s a great piece of meat though.

sprinkle kitty. After seeing that wrap job with the butcher paper, I bet you make some nice looking Christmas presents. 😂

sprinkle kitty Be safe have fun Happy holidays to you and yours

Well now I have something new to try on my Pit Boss!! Thanks for the Sprinkle Kitty of an idea!!! :)

The best advice I could give an amazingly talented cousin is…….sprinkle the damn kitty!!!! Honestly where I live in southern Idaho I think if bought on sale, brisket is cheaper than chuck. At the most, Costco seems to have prime brisket for 4.29 a lb. Today Fred Meyer has brisket for 3.99. Great video cousin!!

Do you have issues with excess ash? Just got my austin xl onyx and during burn off had a lot of ash and got on the grates too. Just not sure if I over primes or what.

Sprinkle kitty! Amazing video like always. Thanks Maize!

Sprinkle Kitty ! Enjoyed your video ... why temp of 205 ? would'nt 170 degrees internal be well done. Curious question not knocking your method

Sprinkle kitty . Looks great 😊

McLovin's Mom? Definitely gonna try this. Looks great. sprinkle kitty

Sprinkle Kitty? lol Sounds like a new rub! hahahaha Great video considering that's what I'm cooking for the 4th!

I don't really want to but for you...sprinkle kitty good video and chuck roast is now on my list
