Beef shoulder clod
 

We'd talked about this beef shoulder clod some time back. Today the
local PBS station was marathoning episodes of Barbecue U. and one
episode featured this big cut. Raichlen cooked it at a fairly high
temperature, 325F or so. He said it took about 12 hours at that temp.

It looked mighty good when he was done. I might have to investigate
where to get one of those and give it a try.

Shoulder clod is on my "must try" list, too.

You can cut down on the cooking time of the shoulder clod by separating
it. It consists of three (I think, it's been awhile. I cooked them at the
store a few years ago)joined sections. Just separate at the seams and cook
separate.

I've cooked a couple at Renn Faires in the past year. They are very
light on fat and so tend to be a little dry, but they're fairly tasty.
Long muscle fibers at varying angles, so it's difficult to get a "cross
grain" cut all the way across a slice.

If I were investing the 12 or so hours on a piece of beef of my
choosing, I'd go brisket. If you can seperate the shoulder out into
smaller pieces and smoker it hotter, faster and gp for a more
medium-rare finish it may be more tender/moist.
