I think it was like a 2 lb. but it might've been less. I didn't weigh it. All I did was hit it with a tiny bit of Cajun/BBQ rub (equal parts Cajun seasoning and brown sugar.) then I smoked it over apple and hickory for about 2 hours until it hit 165. Then I wrapped it, added some apple juice and water, and let it go at 220 F for about 4 hours until it was tender. Then I let it rest 15 minutes. Does the bark look good, or too dark? This is also the first time I used no water in the smoker whatsoever (dry, foiled, water pan, as I usually put some water in the pan) but I think it turned out ok! I'm no BBQ expert yet.

What y'all think?
 
Looks good to me! Chuck is not easy to make tender, you have to be patient and wait for it to be ready. The bark also looks fine to me. I'd call it a success!
