just another name for beef shoulder

Answer 2

Beef Shoulder or Clod


This beef shoulder turned out really good! It was better than some prime rib that I have eaten. It isn't often that I try something for the first time and it turns out this good. :)

While shopping at a local mart, I saw beef shoulders for $1.99/lb. Remembering posts by members of the BBQ Porch list that this is a really good cut of meat when smoked properly, I thought what the heck and decided to give it a try. I bought a 6.8 pound cut. Note: this is not a whole beef shoulder.

Now how to smoke it? I searched through my BBQ email archive and found a post about smoking beef shoulders by PigmanJim. I generally followed the Pigman's instructions except I added a foil pan underneath the beef shoulder at the beginning of the cooking session. After 4 hours, the beef shoulder is placed in the foil pan with all those good drippings and covered with foil.
