I did a couple arm roasts in my smoker this weekend, but they dried out on me.
They were a little on the thin side..

They have good flavor, and a little bit of fat in them still. (I pulled them around 155* IT)
I'm going to try to 'rescue' that smokey goodness by cubing them up and chucking in the crock pot on low for the afternoon. I added some more of the injection I used, plus some L&P, apple juice, and a few glugs of Scott's for good measure.
Think it'll help? Waste of time?
I know I can't hurt 'em, they are already dead - and cooked!
Next time I'll smoke for a while, then boat/braise them..
Sounds like a good plan to me.
I'll be over in a minute! ;D

Come 'on up! You can hold the bags while I run the vacuum sealer..
I think they will come out pretty good. Would probably be good in beef stew also or in gravy over noodles.
They'll soak it up - it'll work.
Ok, then! We'll let them do their thing..
Mmm... Smoked beef and noodles sounds good!
When you think about how a pot roast comes out so tender and juicy...
You're basically doing the same thing - it has to work.
No doubt it'll be tender and juicy.
How good it is - is just a matter of how all those flavors work together.
And it all sounds good ;D
It tasted pretty d@mn good when I pulled it off of the Traeger! Just dry.
I'll go dump some red wine in it as well..
Smoked Beef Bourguignon & gravy over noodles!
Squirt,
You could crock pot one of them with some spices and end of with something similar to barbacoa to be served as tacos and fixings. This is actually the way some of the Taquerías make it now instead of the traditional method.
Good luck and slow smoking,

I am sure they will turn out just fine - like was mentioned, in a sauce over noodles, in tortillas with the works, etc......
It's all good, MON.

They turned out great. 7 hours in the crockpot w/ red wine and some Scott's sauce did the trick. I pulled them out at the end and diced them a bit more with my kitchen shears.
We had smoked beef and noodles for dinner w/ some kicked up mushroom gravy. (canned mushroom gravy with more fresh mushrooms, some left over Stubbs concoction, and a turkey baster 1/2 full of the liquid from the crockpot)
I'll probably cook another package of Reames noodles tonight for leftovers..
Congrats STC! Purpose cooked , Smoked boeuf à la bourguignonne is on my short list of things to do. However, I was going to use Oxtail instead. I smoked some ox-tail last year, and they were intense in flavor! Should marry well with the wine!
PS. I have also done what Pachanga posted and purposely overcooked it a little to dry it out - Intense Flavor!
