    Try only cooking the chuck to 155F for the chili, then chunk up in 1" squares ..... makes awesome chili

    in today's market, that's a good price for prime packer.

    One of our favorite items to smoke is chuck roast. We have so many ways to eat it and never end up with leftovers. We get a plain cheese pizza from Papa Murphys, load it up with smoked chuckie and onions and whatever else we can find. YUM! Easy to cook too.

    Smoked chuck roast is probably my favorite, alternate between more traditional bbq rubs and Mexican rubs and cook em up to 207-8ish and hold there an hour. Planning to do one soon with only S&P for some chili too.

    The next chucky I cook will be rubbed with taco seasoning. Just sayin'.

    Still haven’t tried a brisket yet. Costco has them for $5 lb for a prime packer. Did 2 chuckles for $30 from there instead and it was a huge hit. Need to do that soon.

    I'm in the same camp, I do probably 5-6 chuckies to every one brisket. Brisket's a lot of work, lot of trim loss and a lot of meat for our small group. I use it all up but it's something you almost have to plan. With chuck you cook it and it gets devoured almost immediately. I like both but for convenience and size, give me a good chuck roll roast any day !!!

    Yea but when you factor in loss of yield from all the trimming and moisture loss, the gap between the two narrows considerably. Plus a chuck roast is sooo much easier to handle and cook. I say hurray for chuck, go chuckie go !!!!!!!

    That's the same here as well.

    rickgregory for whatever reason, the flats are several more bucks per pound than the full packers. I like the idea of separating it before freezing or cooking. I usually separate the point AFTER the cook as it is super easy at that time, and cube it up for burnt ends. I did that last time - we ate flat for lunch, I separated the point and made burnt ends on the kamado for dinner. And we ate leftover flat for several days in different dishes.

    I need to do something I've thought of for a while now and separate point and flat, make the flat into pastrami and smoke the point. Or maybe just buy a flat and smoke that and a chuckie. #lazy

    I've thought of dividing up the next full packer I find at "normal" prices (under $3 per pound) into 2 or 3 chunks, and freezing it uncooked, for smoking smaller amounts at a time, versus only making it when I have 8 to 10 folks coming to dinner.

    You are right in that I can put a chuck on at 8am, and have it done by 5pm for dinner. But I probably do the same thing if I go 300F all the way for a brisket.

    Here too, but a) trim the brisket, weigh it, then calculate the per pound price again and b) I'm one person. If I'm not cooking for a group, brisket makes little sense. Sure, I could smoke one, divide it up, freeze etc... but meh.

    Plus chuck doesn't take 12, 15 hours.

Even when I could get brisket for $2.99 a pound, chuck was $4.99 a pound. At current pricing at my local Sam's Club, Chuck is $6.98, and brisket is $4.88. I don't buy either at those prices... I got two briskets for $1.99 a pound back in June at Kroger, and still have a 17 pounder in the freezer, which I will probably pull out around Christmas.
