    I've never done a full clod but it is very normal for large cuts of meat to stall at 160-170. This stage is crucial to the fatty break down and evaporative steps Hang on it could be stuck for 1hr or 3.

    Yep, its normal. And...you might hit a second stall around 180*-185*. If 225* is your dome temp, I would bump to 250*.

    @DMW I plan on wrapping in foil at 180 and add some beer to braise until 205 IT. What do you think?

    @MedTed, you can if you want, but you will sacrifice your bark. The braise will soften it considerably. I would drink the beer while you wait for it to finish personally. :)

    @MeTed‌
    Just curious my friend. Is your clod "whole" or a "parted" clod? I only ask because I really enjoy cooking clod myself. 10 pounds sounds unusually small for a whole (3 heads of the deltoid) clod.

    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.

    Just for reference here is a pic of a whole clod. Note all 3 heads of the deltoid region are present and intact. The Teres Major, Teres Minor and the Infraspinatus .image

    @Eat and @SGH I smoked a 10 pound portion of a clod rubbed with a rub from ALDEN`S MILL HOUSE here in Michigan for 22 hours at 225 all the way to 205, with no foil or braising. It is Awesome. I pulled it as soon as it was cool enough to handle. I must thank you guys for all your help, It means a lot. @SGH thanks for the awesome post on beef clod. And the offer for more help.  Thanks to @EAT for the inspiration and great advice on how to post photos, I signed up with photobucket today now I just have to get a new camera and then start posting photos. It will not be long. Again thanks to both of you!
