Step 2: Add the rub
Dry rub (enough to cover)
- black pepper, ground1 part
- dried chipotle pepper, ground1 part
- salted chuck roast
Add an even layer of black pepper and ground chipotle pepper (or any other spices you are using) to the salted chuck roast, patting to ensure the rub adheres to the surface of the meat.
- An even rub layer will help bark form during smoking.
