Chuck eye roast is often less expensive and similar in flavor.

Prepare the chuck roast (2.5 pounds) by applying olive oil on both sides as a binder.

Sprinkle salty seasoning (by Frag Out Flavor) liberally on all sides of the roast.

Apply sweet and smoky rub (Constitution) on all sides of the roast.

Let the roast sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the rubs.

Place the seasoned roast in the pit barrel cooker.

Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, monitoring with a remote thermometer.

Once at 165°F, wrap the roast in butcher paper tightly.

Return the wrapped roast to the cooker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 195-200°F.

Remove the roast from the cooker and place it on a cutting board.

Unwrap the roast and cut it into cubes against the grain.

Place the cubes in a foil pan and add sweet heat barbecue sauce (by Veterans Q) and brown sugar, eyeballing the amounts.

Stir to combine and return the pan to the cooker uncovered for additional cooking.

After 30 minutes, check the cubes for doneness.
