  at the grocery store, they normally cut them down to smaller roasts which are great. They usually call them shoulder roasts

  They are great (smaller versions) for pulled beef.  Search for some pulled beef recipes-recognizing the search function here is very weak use google and add Big Green Egg to your request and you will find a few different ways to cook.  Most eggcellent!

  Nope. The brisket is like the pectoral muscle.

  The shoulder is also the chuck so any chuck roasts will be cut from the shoulder. They are very easy to find. The whole shoulder should have the bone in it just like a pork shoulder. Just bigger

  This -- you almost need it to be chuck and not from any other cut. The fat content keeps it from drying out from the long cook.

  
  

  I did the Clay Q recipe last month and it was well worth the added effort. Pulled beef was a great change of pace from the BBs that we usually do at our house.

  Nothing better than chuck shoulder - pulled beef. I like better than pulled pork.

  Absolutely. Simple to make.  Do it just like you would pulled pork only take the internal up to 205-210.
