Smoked a chuck roast for dinner tonight and felt like it turned out very well. Everyone ate it but I was a little surprised it still had a “roast” taste. It was between a steak and brisket texture wise which was what I was expecting but I didn’t think it would still taste a bit like roast. Is that just par for the course trying to smoke chuck like a brisket?
It’s by no means keeping me from eating it, still think it was good to very good and I’m looking forward to sandwiches with it.

Chuck pretty much always tastes like “roast” unless you grind it up.
A lot of people just lean into it and do basically smoked pot roast with it. Pot roast seasonings, and braise it in beef stock on the smoker.
