    After watching a few of these poor man's brisket using a chuck roast I decided to try it. It ain't no brisket! Not enough fat to keep the meat juicy. Next time I'll try to sear both sides and smoke for an hour or two. From there it will be cooked as a pot roast.

    Bro. After watching pretty much every smoked chuck roast recipe on YouTube, finally found one that is cooked like a brisket! Wrapped past the stall, cooked til 195 to 205. I could even see the drip of the brisket when you did the bend test. Awesome job, I wanted to see what it would taste and look like. Wish I could see more close up of the meat slices though

    Question – With my Traeger set on 225 my MEATER ambient temp is considerably lower
    Should I turn the Traeger up to achieve 225 ambient on the MEATER??

    Brisket used to be the poor man's chuck. Most butchers used to just grind brisket up into hamburger until barbecue made it popular. When prepared the same way, chuck is better, always.

    Loved the video, the only part that I wished I could have punched you in the face was when you let us listen to you taste the meat. Otherwise Awesome!!!
