Absolutely not! It’s a fantastic idea!

Smoked chuck is great.

Nah, it will be good but, I’ve been learning butchery skills so I’d tear it down

Hell yeah, that’s old school bbq. If I understand correctly smoked Shoulder Clod was king of Texas before brisket was a thing.

Hell no. Send it! I havent heard of a piece of chuck this dang big, it should be tasty.

I actually did a smoked chuck last summer and honestly it turned out way better than I expected. The fat keeps it juicy and it shredded beautifully for sandwiches. Definitely took a while but totally worth it for the flavor. Not stupid at all, go for it!

Take off the chuck eye first. Save those for a good steak for later. (First 3-4 inches)

You can smoke any thing any time if you have the drive

Now that’s a nice chunk of meat right hear. Definitely cook it low n slow on your rig. You will be absolutely amazed with your finished product. For me, I closed my eyes and I thought I was eating super tender prime rib. Enjoy and definitely have fun.

I prefer chuck. Its cheaper because of smaller cuts, more forgiving and shreds easy for pulled beef.
Its not brisket but you absolutely can treat it like one

Yes. Chuck roast is much more forgiving than brisket. It’s easier.

I like smoking chuck quite a bit. Doesn’t need the time brisket does for strong results.

Pro tip, all the beef from a cow taste the same. You can change a cut of beef to taste different by cook time or seasoning but it’s still red meat.

If not for smoking why it’s shaped it’s for smoking

In college I would smoke a chuck on my Weber for 3-4 hours then throw it in a Dutch oven with some onions, garlic, herbs, etc. and slow cook it until it was shreddable. Amazing shredded beef sandwiches and rice bowls.

I’m pretty sure it’s a law in 7 states that you have to.

Why wouldn’t you? I smoke around 220 for 3-4 hours, pull off and wrap in tin foil, turn up heat to around 350 for another 2-3 hours. It falls apart. I pour off the juices into a bowl and place in the fridge over night. The fat rises and you can skim it off leaving pure Au Jus for French Dips.

Yoder did a vid with a big ole shoulder clod and he smoked it like a brisket. Don’t see why this couldn’t work
