Ingredients for Chuck Roast:

• 1 chuck roast (8-10 pounds)
• Adkins western-style barbecue seasoning
• Pecan wood chunks for smoke
• Salt and pepper
• Aluminum foil

Ingredients for Scallion Garlic Mashed Potatoes:

• 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 scallions, sliced
• Salt and pepper

Part 1: Preparing the Chuck Roast

1. Season the Chuck Roast:
   Generously season the chuck roast with Adkins western-style barbecue seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed on all sides.

2. Prepare the Weber Kettle:
   Fill the Weber Kettle with charcoal and light it using a chimney starter. Once the charcoal is lit, place it on one side of the grill. The other side will be for indirect heat.

3. Add the Pecan Wood:
   Add 2-3 chunks of pecan wood to the charcoal. This will infuse the meat with a smoky flavor.

4. Place the Chuck Roast:
   Place the seasoned chuck roast on the indirect heat side of the grill. Put the lid on the Weber Kettle, and adjust the vents to maintain a temperature of 250°F.

5. Monitor the Chuck Roast’s Temperature:
   Insert the ambient temperature probe into the chuck roast. This will allow you to monitor the temperature of the meat without opening the lid of the Weber Kettle. Cook the chuck roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.

6. Wrap in Foil:
   Once the chuck roast has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the Weber Kettle. Wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

Part 2: Making Scallion Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1. Boil the Potatoes:
   Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

2. Prepare the Scallions and Garlic:
   While the potatoes are boiling, melt the butter in a separate saucepan. Add the minced garlic and sliced scallions and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Mash the Potatoes:
   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the garlic, scallion, and butter mixture, along with the sour cream and milk. Mash until smooth, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
