Drain wood chunks, and place on coals. Place water pan in smoker, and add water to just below fill line. Place beef roast in center on lower food rack. Gradually pour wine mixture over beef roast.

Cook beef roast, covered, 6 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of beef roast registers 145 degrees (medium), adding more water to depth of fill line, if necessary. Remove beef roast from smoker, and let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
