Ingredients
  

  • For the Smoked Beef:
  • - 2.5 lbs chuck roast
  • - Your favorite BBQ seasoning 2-3 tablespoons
  • - 2 cups beef broth
  • For Assembly:
  • - 12 slider buns
  • - 12 slices provolone cheese
  • - ¼ cup pickled red onions
  • - ½ cup BBQ sauce plus extra for serving

Method
 

  1. Season chuck roast generously with BBQ seasoning, let rest 30-45 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Set up smoker for 225-250°F with preferred wood chips and beef broth in drip pan.
  3. Smoke roast fat-side up for 2-3 hours until bark forms and smoke ring develops.
  4. Continue smoking through the stall (160-170°F), spritz with beef broth if desired.
  5. Smoke until internal temperature reaches 195-205°F and meat probes tender, about 5-6 hours total.
  6. Rest wrapped in foil 15-20 minutes, then shred with forks or meat claws.
  7. Mix shredded beef with BBQ sauce to lightly coat.
  8. Assemble sliders: toasted buns, BBQ sauce, pulled beef, provolone, pickled onions.

Notes

- Chuck roast needs 5-6 hours smoking time for proper tenderness
- Don't rush through the stall - it's essential for texture
- Internal temperature of 195-205°F ensures proper pulling texture
- Serve immediately while warm for best results
