Slab-O-Beef

[SuperDave]

Rubbed this 19 pound beef shoulder down to rest in the frig until about 11:00 tonight when I inject it and put it to bed in the smoker. 225 box temp with some hickory, pecan plum & cherry. Changed my mind on wood choice after reviewing my inventory.

Wow,

I am looking forward to see how this turns out!

Gonna do pulled beef??

Only if I let it go too long.  Hoping for sliced and a little chopped.

Is that a clod, or just a shoulder?  Regardless, nice looking slab-o-beef!

Heck, at 11 lbs you could cut off a hunk and cook it to pulling temp.......... 8)

[DivotMaker]

Ha!  Yeah... Dave it is!  We all look at names wrong once in awhile, it seems! :-[  Thanks Dave...er...Greg!

 

[SuperDave]

I've been trying the upper end of temps the last couple of tries (mid 190's).  I think I'm going to pull sooner this time and see what the difference in texture is.  I'm thinking between 180 and 185 for good slices? 

 

[SuperDave]

Planned sides:
Twice baked potatoes
Corn casserole
Salad
Rolls
Smoked Gravy
Home made apple pie ala mode.

 

[SuperDave]

Cornbread casserole is up.

Enjoy.
