Smoking beef shoulder
« on: May 24, 2016, 09:23:13 AM »
I was wondering, can beef shoulders be smoked low and slow much the same way as a pork shoulder?

Yes, it's usually called shoulder clod........

This is about 13#, the small end of a 27 or so pound whole one.............



Not quite as fatty as pork butt so I inject w/ some marinade that has at least some oily consistency to it....this one was also plugged w/ garlic cloves all over......



Medium heat, long cook..... 8)

@1buckie is there a time formula approximation eg. ?? hour(s) per #
and does it pull similar to pork (bone twist test etc)

& Thanks for the garlic plug idea

@Travis  thanks for the vid.....I remember that one.......just wish he wouldn't say "aka chuck roll" because it's a different muscle....chuck is the neck, clod the the upper, outer shoulder &  has longer fibers & three different set of muscle that can actually be cooked separate...........you can kinda see it here...



Woosty, a high grade woosty type stuff on the right & strained chipotle hot sauce went into it...



Lots of garlic...



@Metal Mike  ....long cook.....hard to say in hrs./lb. because it will be perhaps more determined by the thickness, but an hour per, maybe 250f.....I never try any hot 'n' fast monkey business with these, because at least two of the three sections are sort of lean & will tighten up & just be like bad London broil if cooked too fast..........
This is the original cinder block pit beef piece before brisket became all the rage......good stuff !!!
