Season the beef chuck roast with smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Place the seasoned roast in the smoker, fat side up.

Smoke the beef for about 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195-203°F.

Wrap the roast in foil and let it rest for 30 minutes after removing from the smoker.

Shred the beef using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.

Mix the shredded beef with BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and mustard to taste.

Serve the pulled beef on buns with pickles and onions.

Enjoy with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
