If you caught this week’s episode of the Grilling To Get Away podcast, you heard me talking about one of my favorite brisket alternatives—the smoked chuck roast. It's cheaper (depending on where you're shopping), faster to cook, and still delivers that bold, beefy flavor we all love. In this post, I’m walking you through the full recipe I mentioned on the show—seasoned up with our All-Purpose Garlic Seasoning and slow-smoked until it's fall-apart tender. Whether you're feeding a small crowd or just want a weeknight BBQ fix, this one’s a game-changer.

Let’s fire it up and get into it! 🔥
