Beef Clod Heart ???????? Help!

[teeznuts]

I read this thread by mneeley490, http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/122320/beef-clod-heart-aka-eye-of-chuck-w-q-view#post_816815, the other day and I'm dying to pick up a beef clod heart. My big question.........................Can this be taken to 195-205 and be pulled/shredded? Has anyone had any succees doing so? Any input or links to clod hearts that have been pulled is gretly appreciated.

Actually my cash and carry no longer carries clod heart unless I special order a case. I picked up 20 lbs of ball tip roast instead. any suggestions?

Ball tips are the best ...think of tri tip only better...And cooks like a tri tip too ,,,Ive never smoked one , but ive grilled quite a few ....I doubt if you will go wrong either way ...I would marinate and grill, or dry rub and smoke....Either way will come out juicy and tender...here is a pic 

 of a tri tip I grilled tonight ...

Thanks for the pic. I am looking forward to smoking some. Not sure whether to smoke to 130-135 It and slice or to try taking to 195-205 to pull/shred.

I'd definitely go to 130°/135°; not enough marbling to pull.
