I made this recipe today, slightly different. Seasoned the meat the same then smoked in Weber with a slownsear till had a nice color. Then put beef broth and red wine in my slow cooker and added the chuck, onion soup mix, onions, carrots and celery. Cooked on low for 5 hours then added some flour to thicken it up a bit. went another hour and served it over garlic mashed potatoes with a biscuit to soak up some gravy. Best pot roast I ever made. Will definitely make again.
I have tried this a few times.... It's lovely!!!! First time I used Pecan but the smoke taste didnt seem to fight through the the braise, onions, garlic etc so I used hickory(3 chunks)/apple(1 chunk) and was PERFECT for my taste.... Great style and my family loves it.... You're the man Reed
Made this for Easter and it was the best pot roast we’ve ever had. It was absolutely amazing. We will forever make it like this from now on. Thanks for this recipe Malcolm!
Made this today using a bottom roast and it turned out fantastic. Your AP rub is great and the Montreal Steak seasoning jut took it to another level. Can’t wait for what you’re smoking next!
I just did this recipe and it came out great. I used beef stock and beer in it. I ended up smoking it for a hr than did the rest of your steps by putting it in the oven after. Will definitely do it again.
I watched your video and made this last night on the grill. Was fantastic. This was my grandpa's favorite meal and cooking on the grill was so tender. I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes and your rubs and sauces!
I do almost the same thing in many Akron grill. I use a Turkey roaster to sear the meat and then I deglaze the roaster and liquid and cover. I add the vegetables later just like you did. You do a wonderful job with your cooking. Keep it up.
Making this right now. I threw in 3 cloves of crushed garlic when I added the vegetables. Also went with a bourbon barrel aged cabernet. 1.5hrs left of cook time. Cant wait
Today I took my first free up Boston butt on the Hollow smoker and the bone was coming right out just like you said and it was so good thank you Malcolm for your videos
I cooked this for my family amazing recipe Malcolm you're right I'll never cook it in the oven again. Thank you for all the amazing recipes keep up the good work brother
After being inspired by your videos I tried smoking a chuck roast and I honestly would take it over a smoked brisket any day! I tell everyone I know, throw a chuck on the smoker and you won't be disappointed. Currently smoking a couple over pecan and apple right now. I got a Weber Kettle recently and I actually prefer smoking on it more so than a Pit Barrel. It's just so easy to add more coals or wood with the lift up grates and keeping the coals to one side. Cheers from FL brotha! And let's go Brandon!
I've watched all of your videos and it has inspired me to cook more on the grill and my smoker. I'm gonna try this recipe soon, i'm sure it will turn out amazing. Keep up the good work man!
Wanted to change up Easter dinner from ham so this year im gona smoke the chuck roast for 2-3 hours today and then early tomorrow morning gona crockpot it til tender so i am not wasting the propane in my propane smoker tryin to get it tender. I do this method with my charcoal offset also so im not using more charcoal when i wrap my foods to tenderize.
My wife got a pot roast in the fridge I just bought a Weber and I'm kind of bored so rather than her putting it in the crock pot and making the house hot I'm bringing it outside.. Thanks man!
i love the McCormick Grill Mates> Montreal Steak Seasoning YUM that and Larry ALL Seasonings is all i ever buy i put it on all meats, fish, sea foods so true meats lost it favor put beef back in to the beef, and chicken back into the chicken
I was searching "how to make pot roast" and was getting disappointed about the results. Then I clicked this and realized it was Malcolm... Mood instantly changed to "oh yeah, this is gonna be good!" 😁👍
I can't believe I have to say this to a guy who bbqs so much - but searing meat does jack to seal/lock in the juices. It's for a nice texture on the outside.
He isnt searing. He even says it isnt. @250 F that's Smoking Temp, not "searing" The only reason for the sear anyway for a pot roast is to get it browned, make it look purty. He says that here as well. You brown at high heat, then lower to simmer/braise.
Cooking this right now. No wine, only because I thought I had some and didn't. Someone must have stolen it! I can already dinner is going to be amazing.
Love your recipes, especially the not quite BBQ ones. Now I'm waiting for the cast iron skillet corn bread made in a drum smoker ;) Actually, have you tried making BBQ sauce along side smoking some meat? that would be interesting.
I know this is an old vid but I have been looking to do a pot roast and always check to see if you have done something before I do! Question: why such a short time exposed to the smoke? I notice in your pulled beef video you did 3 hours in the smoke. Thanks for the great videos!
Love your videos malcom. If I do this on a weber kettle should I do the "sear" over direct or indirect heat? The barrel has a lot more distance between the the meat and the heat than the kettle would. Thanks
Does an early sear "lock in" (1:03) flavors? That is, seal the inside so the juice can't escape? That seems impossible to me. Hummmm. Or, is it better to sear at the end (just to get the Maillard Reaction)?
@ 250 degrees F you're not searing. He even says it isnt really isnt searing. That's smoking temperature. BUT it IS giving the meat the browned outside before you braise it for 3 hours. At 57 yrs old I've made pot roast a thousand times I bet. Normally you brown at high heat then reduce to simmer. You can coat it with flour or whatever you want, brown then braise. You're not really looking to lock in juices here, the braising is gonna make it super tender. You could just start braising from the beginning and still get a tender roast. The "searing" is just getting it to look "purty" on the outside.
Tried this today on a RecTeq 380 and I have NO IDEA what I did wrong but it turned into the worst pot roast I have ever had. Temp maintained well for the entire time but this was just plain tough... Three pound chuck ($21.00) that really looked good but I blew it - vegetables were great but beef was terrible! I am new to this (at 79 tomorrow).
Malcolm, you have become my BBQ guru. You never steer me wrong with any of your videos. Keep up the great work!

Just when you thought you couldn't revolutionize a Pot Roast. Amazing, bro!

Did this today and it was awesome. Made gravy with the juices.
I would love an updated video on this recipe.
Why? It's not like there is a newer version of beef.
My wife got a pot roast in the fridge I just bought a Weber and I'm kind of bored so rather than her putting it in the crock pot and making the house hot I'm bringing it outside.. Thanks man!
I would love an updated version of this recipe
Same.

You need a bunch of 4" long celery hearts in there too...!

Hands down super 😋
Love watching and learning from you Malcom. I truly enjoy how you break everything down step by step.
Cooking this right now. No wine, only because I thought I had some and didn't. Someone must have stolen it! I can already dinner is going to be amazing.
Love videos that make it simple! On sale at publix so trying this weekend.
Looks Great!
9years later, Thanks Malcom.
@HowToBBQRight we need an update to this vid! you still using this method?
Thank you looks fantastic. You're a great help. A total of four hours... Got it
What was brand name of the beef base?
This should work well on a WSM without the water pan, Right?
Love your recipes, especially the not quite BBQ ones. Now I'm waiting for the cast iron skillet corn bread made in a drum smoker ;) Actually, have you tried making BBQ sauce along side smoking some meat? that would be interesting.
I love your videos man. Thank you for the info!!
Is it high in salt? Loooks greet

Same question for me. I'm guessing 1 hour is about the minimum needed for forming bark and a smoke ring but I'm no expert.
whats the point of having it on smoker if its covered? Seems like much easier to move to oven. You are not getting any smoke through the foil.
Love your videos malcom. If I do this on a weber kettle should I do the "sear" over direct or indirect heat? The barrel has a lot more distance between the the meat and the heat than the kettle would.
Thanks
Same question, but for big green egg?
Pecan wood flavored!
Thats AWESOME!!!!
Never mind I found the last hour LOL. Maybe I should start drinking.
I like his wine of choice, not some hoity toity snobby wine like my wife drinks. I like Robert mondavi myself. It’s all good to me.
Going to do this for dinner tonight.
Could you do this on a pellet grill?
Malcom have you tried to smoke a chuck roll?
This may be an 8 year old video... But I'm trying it today!
