I recently picked up a Pro series 22. My first pellet grill. Decided to start with a chuck roast and wow it didn’t disappoint. Bark was acceptable and flavor and texture was excellent. Next up ribs.

It’s sad that we’ve gotten to this point. “Poor Man’s Brisket” used to be, well, brisket…

Cook details man, details! I’m thinking about picking up a chuck roast this week so this post is right on time. Looks straight up fire!

I have a ton of those all over my yard. I had no idea I could eat them. Does the smoking help with the smell?

Price per pound using Sam’s Club as a baseline, brisket is cheaper by at least $2/lb than chuck roast. The gross weight of the brisket will be more, but still less than chuck at a per-pound basis. That being said, chuck roasts tend to be more forgiving to cook and have a higher versatility given their smaller size and marbling.

Chuck is better than brisket. There I said it.
