    Never seen a clod, but heard of a 15 pounder being done - it served over 20 people with good appetites. Can't imagine what a 34 pounder might be used for. 

    Great post, looking forward to seeing the results. Wow.

    Yes sir. When I get home tonight I will complete my write up on the cook and upload the remaining pics. Had a lot i had to do today so I had to turn in early last night. Been a hectic day thus far.

    At 23 hours and 38 minutes into the cook the internal temp was at 157 degrees. The clod had really started to loosen up and feel free so I panned it in a full size steam tray. This will aid in the extraction from the smoker and prevent it from falling apart when the clod is fully cooked. I did not cover it. I merely sat it in a open pan for convienance. imageimage

    What temp are you going to? Is this becoming pulled beef?

    Is that a big-ass spatula or a really tiny piece of meat in a really tiny foil pan?

    That spatula is the size of a shovel. 24 hours ago that was 34 pounds of beef clod. Look at the pics at the start of this post of my DIL holding it for a size reference.
    @Thatgrimguy‌
    I'm going to take it up until it totally "let's go" if you will. I'm guessing around 197 due to the amount of adipose dispersed through out the meat.

    Really I'm not guessing. I pulled it at 197 last weekend. I was going to say that I made a good guess at the end but that would be wrong. And yes I pulled it off at 197 and made pulled beef.

    Okay on page one, you said you made this last weekend, but this reads like it's ongoing. I'm guessing you just got confused what tense you were in. I know that happens to you elderly folks. lol

    BTW...This is/was a really cool cook!

    @SGH-total clod virgin here (beef-wise anyhow :) ).  Guess it's the whole package that allows pulling at around 197*F cuz when I cook a lowly chuckie for pulled beef I run it up to around 210*F to get it to behave.  Independent-an epic cook.  I'm sure the eats were worth the effort!

    It's not the whole chuck primal. It's the subprimal cut from the chuck primal from the deltoid main 3 heads. The Teres Major the Teres Minor and the Infraspinatus. This section contains far more adipose and can easily be cooked down to the point of pulling if you will. I shall illustrate this later my friend. It's the abundance of adipose in the deltoid region that allows the clod to be pulled with little effort. I hope this helps my friend.

    And you are correct the remaining other half of the primal does not reduce as well as the clod in my humble opinion.
