Advice/tips for shoulder clod?

[decepticron]

A shoulder clod is the lower portion of the chuck over the short ribs. It produces the cross rib roast. It's a decent pot roast although not as nice as a blade. The point is... you can make it good for cheap but you'll make something better for a couple of extra bucks. My clods all get ground.

Shoulder clod has always been used at the world famous Kreuz Market in Lockhart, TX. I believe they now offer brisket as well, but back in The Day they just cooked up the clod. I saw this in the great little book, "Texas Barbecue". Kreuz is pronounced 'Krites'

Where is the Q-view Rich?
Is there enough leftovers for all of us

?

LOL... Sorry Mo. If I Q-viewed everything I cooked my pict place would shoot me :{) And I only did a third of it. It's good, but honestly I prefer brisket over the clod. I'm gonna do another hunk of it in a couple weeks and change a few things, but I need some burger too. Think that third might end up in a 50% mix with pork for another fatty or 4 heh!

I ran into some Texans and they suggested smoking a clod. They said it's like a big Brisket Point. As soon as I get a bigger smoker the clod will the first smoke.

I saw them on the Food Network one time. They have a killer pit.
I'm going to give them a visit before I leave this earth.
