I never thought about doing it with anything but brisket. That's pretty much the main reason I haven't - I'm just too cheap. lol
Exactly, I wouldn't say these are quit as good as brisket but they're damn tasty. Take a nice thick chuck roast, I usually do 2 or 3 at a time. Marinade/rub as you choose, smoke to about 190. Pull off and cut into cubes, put in a baking pan. Lather with BBQ sauce, add more rub and mix well to coat all the cubes. Back in the smoker for about an hour. That's it!

I haven't done it before myself so I'll have to rub some chocolate spread on my next meatloaf too.
Before I read it, I was honestly sitting here thinking "did he just make a choclate cake on a grill?!" Props!
Turned out pretty well. Thought I had trimmed a lot of fat to begin with but I could have still trimmed more. Pulled it at 194 because the toothpick was going in like warm butter. Very tender and moist. Couple spots were drier than others but mostly very tender. All in all I was pretty pleased with my first brisket.
That looks great! Did you wrap and rest? 194 is borderline in my experience. Totally counter to intuition with beef... I'm so careful with steaks!
