Poor Man's Brisket! Mouth watering Smokey you gotta see!

What happens here

The video starts with an introduction to the project: making 'Poor Man's Brisket' from chuck roasts. The presenter displays three chuck roasts, noting their sizes range from about 2 pounds to 3.4 pounds. He emphasizes using grass-fed beef if possible. The overview explains the general cooking process: seasoning, smoking unwrapped to 165°F (Fahrenheit), wrapping in aluminum foil with more seasonings, and then smoking to 205°F. He mentions using a Z Grills pellet smoker set to 225°F with Competition Blend pellets.

Goal: Understand the project and the required ingredients and equipment.
