Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika on all sides.
Place the seasoned roast in the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, liquid smoke (if using), and water until well combined.
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it into small pieces.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce to ensure every piece is coated.
Serve the BBQ beef hot on buns for sandwiches, or plate it as a main dish with your favorite sides.
