1

Fill the slow and sear kettle with BNB briquettes and light 10 briquettes in a charcoal chimney.

2

Prepare the chuck roast by seasoning all sides with Southern Belle seasoning.

3

Add hot water to the water reservoir of the kettle, leaving about an inch from the top.

4

Once the briquettes are hot, place them into the slow and sear kettle and add two chunks of pecan wood for smoking.

5

Set the kettle to maintain a temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit and place the chuck roast opposite the slow and sear.

6

After two hours, check the bark on the chuck roast and probe for temperature, aiming for 200 degrees.

7

Wrap the chuck roast in a foil pan with a stick of butter, au jus gravy, ranch seasoning, jalapenos, and jalapeno juice.

8

Return the wrapped roast to the grill until it reaches fork-tender consistency, around 200 degrees internal temperature.

9

Let the chuck roast rest for 30 minutes before pulling it apart with forks.
