Now I see why several of my AR bro’s and sisters prefer chuck to brisket - maybe prefer is too strong a term. Liked it just as much. I finally did a successful chuck yesterday and man were we impressed. When I took it out of the freezer I wasn’t even sure what it was, I have no idea how long it was in there. Anyway I brined it overnight, used some of our very own Henrik’s rub, and put them on. I didn’t really pay that much attention to the cook - the wife and I had a little jam session with the stereo and a large quantity of alcohol, but I wrapped with foil at around the 7 hour mark at around 170, and pulled them at 210. Excellent.

Current line-up of cookers: Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro, Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050, Blackstone ProSeries 4 Burner 36" griddle, Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Joe.
I love smoked chuck roast and smoked brisket pretty much equally. I don't really have a preference, but lb. for lb., brisket has become quite a bit cheaper than chuckies in my area, so I have been going with brisket. Chuckies are a whole lot easier to just add to the cook when you have a little space available, though.
