    I do them all the time...20- 30 pounders makes great pulled beef....Inject with beef broth butter and seasonings...i typically rub with SPG or Montreol Steak ...225 dome , wrap 160 to 170 remove around 200..i do put it in a pan after I wrap, there is a ton of juice in there ...only trimming I do is silverskin here is 300 pounds I did a while back

    You certainly can, and save some coin anytime you break down your own primal you save ....I do a lot of cooks for groups and this is ideal for me--I can serve 60 with 1 and do it on a large

    One of my favorite cuts.  I generally cutout the Chuck Eye portion (There are a lot of videos on Youtube to help you) for use as steaks or a roast and then cut the rest roughly in half.  I generally freeze one of the halves and cook the other like a brisket.  Around here, you can get them at Costco (have to ask the meat people for them) or BJs.  I've also bought them at Restaurant Depot.
