Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

Brush the chuck roast with the dijon mustard all over.

Step 3

Generously sprinkle the BBQ seasoning over the entire surface of the chuck roast, pressing it into the meat to adhere.

Step 4

Place the seasoned chuck roast onto the smoker grates and close the lid. Let it smoke for 3-4 hours or until the temperature reaches 200°F (93°C) and the meat is tender.

Step 5

Carefully remove the roast from the smoker and wrap with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Unwrap the roast from the foil and cut the roast into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.

Step 7

In a foil pan, combine the BBQ sauce and brown sugar. Toss the cubed chuck roast into BBQ mixture until well coated.

Step 8

Return the coasted cubed roast to the smoker in the foil pan and cook for an hour, or until the meat is caramelized and has a sticky, rich appearance.

Step 9

Serve the Poor Man’s Burnt Ends as a tasty appetizer or as a main dish alongside your favorite sides or toppings. Enjoy!
