I am going to try my first beef shoulder.  I am planning to cook it like a Travis Brisket unless that would be wrong or get some better suggestions.

Please advise

    A question if I may brother Golden. The term "beef shoulder" gets used rather loosely from time to time.  As such, my question is, are you cooking a whole unseperated beef shoulder? If so, I will be watching closely. It's my favorite thing to cook.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Here is a whole, unadulterated, 33 pound beef shoulder in the raw that I did some time back. Again, they are my favorite thing to cook.

    It will be just after the fourth.  We have friend for 4th and they want brisket so I will try it next week.  It is only about 15 pounds but looks like your picture SGH.   Thanks for comments.
