Chuck Roast Guidance in Model 1

[Grateful_P]

Hi,

I have a 3 lb. chuck roast I'm smoking for dinner this evening. Planning on slicing it.

This will by my first time smoking a chuck roast, and I'm seeing all sorts of different directions/tips, for the best internal temp (145, 165, 190), cook time, etc.

I'm planning on having the smoker at 225 F, and the Smokin-It guide says 2-3 hours to complete, with a finished temperature of 140-145 F.

Is it best just to follow the Smokin-It guide in this instance? Wrap or no wrap? Rest time?

Thanks!

Always best to follow the instruction but since meats can vary even if the cuts are identical, always check with an instant read. Or set your Smokin-it to your desired finish temp.
