I have been doing chuck roasts as a cheap way to learn. I did one and some beef ribs on Saturday. I thought they probed tender but they were tough.
Chris nailed it, once you reach that point it is like a lightbulb going off in your head and it will seem like a no-brainer.Keep plugging away. It can be frustrating while mastering it, but once you got it, things are a lot smoother sailing from then on in general (although you will still screw up now and then).
Foil is my friend when cooking Chuck Roasts, and like they ^ said probe all over.
I'm in this boat too. Foil really helps chuck roasts. They seem to take a little longer to get pulling tender than I initially thought they would. Not like exactly like butts. I smoke till about 160ish then foil or my new favorite (which a lot of folks do) is to smoke to 160 then put in a pan with peppers & onions and foil and let finish.
