Equipment

1 Traeger Timberline XL
1 Meater+ Wireless Thermometer
1 8x5 Aluminum Pan

Ingredients

3 lb chuck roast
2 tbsp Smoked Q Rock's Anytime Seasoning
2 tbsp Smoked Q Rock's Coffee Rub Spice Blend
1 tbsp yellow mustard
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup Smoked Q Rock's Irish Whiskey BBQ Sauce

Instructions

For this recipe, I am running my Traeger Timberline XL at 250º for the entire cook.
While the smoker comes to temp, I begin by applying yellow mustard as a binder for the rubs to all sides and edges. Then I apply equal parts Smoked Q Anytime and Smoked Q Coffee Rub. The Anytime goes on first, with the coffee rub layering over the top.
The initial part of this smoke, I place the chuck roast(s) directly on the grill grates and smoke them for about 6-7 hours until the internal temp reads 165-175º.
An optional step to speed up the cook, I wrapped the chuck roast in foil and cooked for another 1 to 2 hours until I reached an internal temp of 195º.
At 195º internal temp, I pulled the chuck roasts and cubed them into roughly 1 ½ by 1 ½inch cubes and placed them into an 8x5 disposable aluminum pan.
While in the pan I added 4 tbsp of unsalted butter and applied an initial layer of Smoked Q Rock’s Irish Whiskey BBQ sauce. I then covered the foil pan and placed it back on the smoker, still running at 250º.
With the pan covered, I cooked the cubed chuck roast for another 1-2 hours until the internal temp of the cubes was reading 203º with an instant-read thermometer.
After pulling the pan off the smoker, I uncovered these Poor Mans Burnt Ends, applied some more sauce to taste, then we devoured them!
