You don't even have to do that but that's still a nice alternative if you're looking to cook something good on the cheap. There are plenty of other ways to cook a chuck roast that isn't pot roast and a stupid slow cooker. I don't even own one of those, but I guess a lot of people just assume that's the way you do a chuck.
Lord knows brisket prices are through the roof because it's hip and everybody wants Texas barbecue. I remember when you used to be able to buy a damn brisket for less than $20, but I guess that was a long time ago.

From this week.....
Having a vacuum bagger and a sous vide has been a whole scale game changer around our house. Two of us live here, but I was able to do this kind of batch of pork chops (Along with a pork tenderloin we had in the freezer) a couple nights ago and know none will go to waste...

Hell yeah. What kind of grill is that? Also, are you smoking some max and cheese on the right, or is that some sort of corn dish?
It's hard to beat good off the grill pork chops though, and I can be so cheap, and even tastier than beef at times.

That's a Pit Boss 1200 (IIRC the model number right). Damn Easy Bake Oven of smoking.... Only issue I've had with it is that center of the bottom grill is close enough to the fire box that it heats up a lot faster than everything else in the smoker. But with three racks it's easy to work around. For brisket I usually have trimmed fat in an aluminum pan on that bottom rack to render anyways with the brisket on the rack above that.

And yeah, that's a thing of mac and cheese up there smoking in the corner. Next, since

Is that the Academy brand / model? I think my step brother has a pit boss. Just sounds familiar.
You can actually fry the chicken on the grill. Pretty sure I posted about it a couple of years ago where I did the whole experiment, basically breaded the chicken through it on, and then you spray it with canola oil or whatever. It's a dry fry, no pots of oil involved. I don't remember my oil exact process but I had seen it on a YouTube video and figured I'd give it a shot. You'd have been a hard pressed to tell it didn't come out of a fryer but it had a really good smoke flavor to it as well. My wife and I were shocked at how well it came out.
I know smoking and frying wings is also a pretty big thing. I guess doing a low and slow and getting a cook and then just hitting the fryer or oil makes it pretty easy, and delicious.
