OK, SOB, I got it thawed out enough to get it unwrapped for pictures.
Can you identify this piece of meat? The butcher paper said “Chuck Roll (Eye)”.
I plan on smoking it Saturday. I thought I had a game plan, but after getting out to where I can see it I’m having second thoughts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry Arnie I lost track of this post the last couple of days! Looks to me like they did take the eye out of the entire length of the chuck roll...Pops can I get a opinion on that?
If that is the case I would smoke it like you did the shoulder clod you smoked before. Just to be on the safe side. The right end looks like the chuck eye end and would be good cooked like a piece of boneless rib roast. But the rest of it all the way to the left end is a piece of chuck roast and might be tough if you only take it to an internal temp of 135* -145*. Any body out there agree? Sorry I am not sure with my answer. Why dont you bring it over sat and I'll let you use my smoker and I'll let you know how it comes out.

Yes, that is a chuck eye roll most definitely. We used to have to muscle-bone all our square cut chucks ourselves, long before there was processed primal and sub-primal beef cuts prefabricated at a processing plant (boxed beef). Fortunately I had a couple good teachers; my dad foremost, and our director of meat operations Joe C. who was straight from 'the old country' - pure Italian. They both knew more about meat and meatcutting in their little finger than I will ever know.
Roast it or cut it into steaks; keep it medium rare or as you like it; you will certainly enjoy it!

But, alas, I just went back to work yesterday and they may not like me taking off so soon for a road trip.
Sounds good, I'll slather it down with something and smoke it up for pulling.
Thanks Pops & SOB

Small world. He's in Port Clinton, not far.
I slathered my chuck roll eye down with some L&P Thick, rubbed it rubbed it with Jeff's Rib Rub, wrapped it up and put it to bed for the night
First time I've used L&P Thick, I think I'm gonna like it.
