First chuck roast on new 1600 ps4. Dry brine 20 hours with course salt and course black pepper, dryed mustard,garlic powder, onion powder 1 bag lipton French onion soup mix..Going to smoke at 235°for approximately 4 hours. I will add smoke with smoke tube. Then I'll put in large cast iron dutch oven with beef broth, red wine and ALITTLE beef tallow. I will fill liquid half way up roast that is sitting on a rack 1/2" above bottom of pot. I will braised approximately 1-1 1/2 hours at 250. I will then remove roast and put in diced, to bite size potatos and diced onion, garlic,red bell pepper, celery, carrots more soup mix , put roast back in pot on top of veggies. Turn grill up to 275 braised till tender. Well here goes nothing I'll update as I go . It is.10/10/2026 at 12:15 pm. Have I missed anything.

Due to the fact that my wife is "HUNGRY AS HELL" I am increasing the temperature of grill for chuck roast to 250 for smoke period of roast. I will put grill at 275°for braised portion of the cook.
