BBQ Chuck Roast - This recipe is great for making pulled BBQ beef. Chuck Roast is inexpensive and cooks just like a brisket on the grill.
I start out seasoning the brisket with a good dose of Swine Life’s Prime Beef Rub followed by a light coat of my Killer Hogs Hot Rub. Let the seasonings work on the roast for 30 minutes or so while the pit comes up to temperature. For this cook I fired up my Outlaw Patio stick burner running hickory splits. Once the pit stabilized at 300 degrees the roast goes on the cooking grate.
After 2 hours the color is just right for wrapping. At this point the roast goes into an aluminum pan along with some beef au jus. Pour the beef jus mixture into the pan but not directly over the top of the roast. It should come about half way up the sides of the chuck roast. Add a few pats of butter to the top of the roast and insert a probe thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. Cover the pan with foil and continue cooking until it practically falls apart! Total cook time was about 4 1/2 hours on this roast.
When the internal temp hits 200°F I start checking for doneness. Stick the probe into different areas of the roast and see how it feels. If it’s soft like sticking a warm knife into room temp butter then it’s done. If you feel any resistance it’s not ready just yet. It’s typically going to be somewhere between 208 and 215 degrees for an easy pull. You can also use a couple forks to see if it’ll shred.
When the roast is ready take it off the pit and let it hang out for 30 minutes. Put on a pair of cotton gloves with nitrile gloves over the top and start pulling the roast apart by hand. Separate any fat that didn’t render and be sure to save the pan drippings for a little extra added moisture.
I serve it up sandwich style with a creamy jalapeño slaw on a toasted onion roll. Combine equal parts of the beef jus with your favorite bbq sauce and you have an excellent serving sauce for beef.

Looks killer...I do mine basically the same except I use Chipotles in adobo sauce in a small Dutch oven
-
One of my favorite sandwiches! I like to throw a green chile pepper in the pan as well. It’s excellent mixed in with the pulled beef.
-
This is my favorite YouTube channel by far. I love this guy. I’ve learned so much from watching him. Thanks, Malcolm. 🙏🏽

Hi Malcolm - as a random guy from the UK, just wanna say you're my BBQ and slow-cook inspiration! I've only got a weber kettle BBQ, but I've done pulled pork and beef ribs using the snake method thanks to your videos! Love it big man, keep it up!
-
You can also do this with a barbacoa style approach. Fill your roasting pan with veggies, guajillo and chipotle peppers, then add beef broth once you get a nice bark. I've done it a bunch of times and I highly recommend trying it out with chuck roast, short ribs, oxtails, beef cheeks or anything beefy, really.

Who would ever dislike this video? Malcom is a legend!
-
He did something very similar a number of years ago. This is a nice refresh.
-
You're the reason I've taken the leap to try all these adventurous smoking recipes. Adventurous but simplified for normal folk. I'm from Scotland but always appreciated how beautiful southern BBQ can be. Can't wait to have my friends and family round to try this out. Awesome.
-
Your pulled beef recipe from years ago is hands down one of the best things I've ever cooked. Always a crowd pleaser.
-
Never a bad day when Malcolm drops a video

Another great idea for a quick smoke run , thank you Malcom !
