Beef shoulder muscle 2

[Looper]

Does anyone have good info on the time needed to smoke a 6 pound beef shoulder muscle 2? For slicing or pulling and which is this cut better for? Thanks!

Treat it like a brisket, cook until tender which will be 6 to 10 hours unless you cook it hot, like 375.
Even cooked hot it should take 4 to 6 hours, but you have to test tenderness by sticking a probe or chopstick in the meat.
When the probe slides in with little or no resistance it's done but not before.

The shoulder muscle is lean and not tender like a ribeye; slice it, rather than pull it.
