- Don't skip the rest time. This will give the meat's fibers a chance to relax and the juice in the meat the opportunity to redistribute. If you skip the rest time, the meat will be harder to shred and not as moist.
- Serve the shredded smoked chuck roast as you would serve shredded brisket.
- A meat thermometer will be very handy for this recipe.
