    I'd cook it like a pork butt, dome about 275, cook to somewhere between 195 and 205 till a bamboo skewer slides in like butter.  I've had great success doing it that way in the past.

    250 grate level, wrap in foil at 165 (you want those juices that render out), done at 205-210. My last two were about 4lbs each and reached 165 at 6 hours and 210 at 8.5 hours. Allow to rest for minimum of 30 minutes before shredding.

    The last chuck I did was a four pounder.  I smoked it 250 indirect till it hit 165 then placed it in a foil pan with some braising liquid (beef broth, etc.) and covered.  Bumped the cooker up to 325 and let go another 3-3 1/2 hours.  That chuck didn't want to pull right until it hit 215.

    I just follow the same process as pulled pork.  However I do place it in an aluminum pan at about 165-170 to save the juices.  I take it off the smoker when it probes tender, 200+.

    I've been on a pulled chuck panini run lately.

    Also love to make chuck burnt ends too.

    Tell me about the chuck burnt end procedure?  Those look fabulous.  Not real good at polishing the turd/brisket, so I prefer the chucks.  Smoke one packer every fall and cube it for chili.

    If I'm doing burnt ends, I'll pull at 190-195F internal.  Cube, rub and or sauce then return to the smoker for 1.5-2 hours more.  It's super simple and tastes so good man!  I hope you give it a try.

    These are easy and fantastic. Cook like you would a pork butt, don't open the lid until 200+, take off when it reached 205-215 and shred with PVC gloves. (foil for resting if necessary to hit meal time). Doesn't get much tastier.

My last two were about 4lbs each and reached 165 at 6 hours and 210 at 8.5 hours. Allow to rest for minimum of 30 minutes before shredding. Mine completely sucked till I did just like @Griffin described image

    Got a chuck in the freezer delegated for the sacrificial burnt ends offering.  Can't wait to try this, thanks!  Other than pizza, burnt ends are my favorite thing to devour.

    One last thing, is pit temp still low n slow ranges?  Or do you increase temp some after cubing?

    (iMO) you do not have to "hold" pulled pork and I only do when it is ready to early. But I am with @Griffin on the beef at 30+ min.

    I cook normally at 275 and keep the same temp after cubing.  Good luck!

    This was my last Peppered Ale Beef because I didn't have a bottle of stout. :D

    Covered with Dizzy Pig Cowlick and cooked indirect at 250 until it reached 165 internal with some pecan chunks.

    image

    Placed in a pan with the peppers, onions, garlic and liquid.  Covered and cooked at 325 until it reached 215.

    At 215 pulled and placed back on cooker uncovered until liquid reduced a bit.

    1. As posted by HAP and above by BOWHUNR thats the way i did it.  I was suprised on how slow it cooked and i had to go to 215 to reach a nice easy pulling temperature.  But it is well worth the extra time!!
    2. PS: I used a beef broth.
