Ingredients

3 lb Chuck Roast
BBQ Dry Rub
Yellow Mustard for binding
1 cup Beef Broth for spritizing
2 cups BBQ Sauce
6 tbsp Butter
1/4 cup Honey or Brown Sugar

Instructions

Preheat the smoker to 250 F. and set for indirect heat.
Remove the chuck roast from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels.
Trim any large pieces of hard fat around the edges then slice the chuck roast into approximately 2 inch size cubes. Continue to trim any large fat as needed.
Lightly coat the beef cubes in a thin layer of mustard then sprinkle on a light layer of any style BBQ rub of your choice. Be sure to get all sides of each piece of chuck roast.
Place the beef cubes directly onto the grill grates and smoke for about 45-60 minutes. Spray the chuck roast pieces with beef broth to keep the bark moist. Continue this process every 30 minutes until the cubes hit an internal temperature of 165-170 F.
Remove from the smoker and place into a foil pan. Add in the BBQ sauce of your choice, a little more BBQ dry rub, the 6 tbsp of butter (cubed), and the honey over the top.
Cover the top tightly with foil and return the pan to the smoker and cook until the cubes are probe tender, about 1.5-2 hours or until the meat registers between 201-205 F.
Remove from the smoker, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Hot hold the burnt ends in the foil pan wrapped in clean towels and placed into a cooler for up to 4 hours before serving if desired.
