My cousins wife writes for a local food magazine down here in the southeast called Eat Y'all . Few months back they did a write up on a young farmer in his mid 20's that raises , slaughters , and packages beef and pork. Met him today and got some great fresh beef ! Got some beef cheeks and slab of beef back ribs. Rubbed them with a homemade rub and slow smoked them on wsm18 with hickory. If you ever get a chance to try cheeks , do it !

does beef cheek have a weird texture? or same as any other beef cooked right.
Looks delicious!

Have to cook them to 205-210 ! Almost just like a brisket point in texture , just beefier tasting .

Thanks fellas. These ribs were my best to date. Definitely tell the difference in freshness by the beef flavor and texture. Best part was that 4 lb rack was $16

Learned what ever you plan on eating , double it. Lot of silver skin and fat to trim off , but worth it !

That looks amazing. You are lucky you have a shop where you can get meat this good.
Looks great!
I normally encounter beef cheek as "cachete" in tacos, and is the most flavorful meat from the head of a cow. It's typically braised. I'll have to try my hand at smoking it. Or do a combination smoke and braise (foil crutch).
Never even thought to put it on a WSM. But why not?
Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks guys ! If you like brisket point , you'll love cheeks ! Almost identical in texture and taste. These were beefier tasting than brisket , but that could've been from the freshness of the meat ?
