Odd beef cuts for the smoker?

[SuperDave]

I was shopping in my Cash & Carry store and saw some monster chunks of meat that I haven't heard of guys smoking and the price was pretty reasonable.  Top round, sirloin, clod and chuck roll just to name a few.  Does anyone know anything about smoking these cuts of meat?

Top round and sirloin are fairly lean cuts of roast beef and definitely need brining and/or injection. I never heard of clod or chuck roll.

Well, this has given me some inspiration to try the clod.  In a addition to this video, I found a couple of other internet references that likened it to brisket but thought it was better.  If you don't watch the entire video, watch the last few minutes to see the texture of the meat.

Dave,

Wow that looks super moist, but 23 lbs, what is the cost per lb?

Greg, don't you own any knives?  LOL!!! Cut it in half and you have a packer brisket worth.

I want to say that it was $3.37/lbs here.

Dave,

Yes I have lots of knives, great idea..........

That is a heck of a good price, I paid $4.99.00 for the brisket flat I am going to start tomorrow.

I will be looking for this next time I shop.

Definitely a fattier meat. More like a chuck roast (chuck roll). Should be a tasty smoke Dave.

If I could find a shoulder clod around here, I'd be "all in!"

Dave the chuck roll is just a boneless chuck and the clod is a what they make cross rib roast out of. Both are shoulder pieces of meat.
