I'm smoking a chuckie  for the first time. 18lbs in cryovac from Sam's. I have been researching other posts. Looking for a few tips. Smoke the whole thing, or cut into in sections? Any school of thought on hours per pound? I know to shoot for 205 I.T. for best shredding...Any other tips appreciated. Thanks!

    I would cut it in half or thirds to reduce cooking time.

    what ive done with them that size is cut the chuck eye roast out, about 10 to 11 pounds for the pulled beef and grind the rest. i go even a little higher in temp, 210/215. when you get it out of the cryo there will be some flaps and fatty areas that you will probably want to remove, the center is really clean, free of heavey fat and stringyness
