Notes

Don’t skip the mustard or the dry rub! Adding the Dijon and dry rub is your chance to really season the roast and hold in all the juices. Don’t skip this step and don’t skimp on the dry rub!
Let the meat rest! I know it’s tempting to dig right in, but let it rest for the best flavor and texture. This will allow the meat to reabsorb the juices for a moist, tender roast.
Feel free to brush on your family’s favorite BBQ sauce if you want to add even more delicious barbecue flavor. I’d recommend waiting to add the BBQ sauce until just before serving.
Some smoked chuck roast recipes recommend adding beef broth or some type of braising liquid, but I find that the dry rub does a great job of creating a delicious bark and holding the juices in so it doesn’t seem necessary in this case.
