I took the day off from work for my birthday. I have a 3 lb chuck roast that I just put on the smoker. I'm going to use it to make a chili for a contest tomorrow afternoon. Right now I have it running at 180, in a couple hours I'll bump it up to 250. I'm using SPG that I made myself, and hickory pellets. I'm also running a smoke tube with the hickory pellets layered with mesquite chips for an extra boost of smoke (Thanks @Cowboy1955 I think it was you that recommended layering in wood chips) Should be a great day. Coffee on the deck watching the smoke roll, and beer later 🍺 🍻

Absolutely. It a small contest. My buddy has a party Father's day weekend every year. This year he is having a Chili cook off. I figure there will be 15-20 people bringing their chili. He had trophies made for it. It will be fun. He said he should have just had my name put on the 1st place one.....lol

Great ideas for a gathering.
 
What’s your target done temp?
I'm going to wrap around 165 in butcher paper depending on how it looks. I'm going to start checking for tenderness around 190 and pull it a bit earlier than I normally would because im thinking It will cook more when I smoke the chili tomorrow. Once I make the chili I'm going to smoke it for 4-5 hours stirring it every 30 minutes to get the smoke flavor throughout.

Almost the same as my beef rub. I also add onion powder and sometimes lemon pepper. Did you use a binder?
 
This little 3 lb roast is taking forever! I did start it on smoke setting for 4 hours then raised up to 250. 45 more minutes and I will be at 12 hours. The internal temp is only at 176.
