Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated garlic, onion powder, ground rosemary, dried thyme, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and dry mustard.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the chuck roast, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat your grill to 400°F for indirect cooking, using pecan or hickory wood chips.
