    After reading about smoking Chuck/English roasts, I decided to give it a try. Our local grocery store had them on sale for less than $2.50 per pound. They were marbled like a choice steak. I didn’t keep track of time for the photos but it was smoked at app 250 deg. for 5 hours and at 300+ deg. for 1 hour. I used McCormick steak rub and the flavor was very good and tender. I will do another one the next time they are on sale.

    Wish my smoker was inside so I could use it now. That looks great.

    John, you have mastered the art of smoking! That char and smoke ring look perfect.
    What wood do you use for smoking? Around here mesquite or pecan is the wood of choice.

    I use Oak lump charcoal and Jack Daniel whiskey barrel wood chips. Sorry Frank, I couldn't find any Irish whiskey wood chips. :D
