Bought my first clod
« on: June 10, 2015, 01:33:27 PM »
I went to Cash & Carry last night with an open mind to picking up a piece of beef and letting what looked good make my decision.  As much as I've been wanting to do a beef clod, I've had a hard time justifying a 25 pound hunk of meat.  Well, I found a 17 pounder that I could convince myself was just cooking a big packer brisket.  I plan on starting the smoke on Friday morning and see where it goes from there time wise.  Details and pics will be forthcoming.

Let the preparation begin.  Started by removing silver skin on bottom side and trimming fat cap on the top side.  Now it is resting in a cooler with brine overnight.

Brined, injected and now taking a nap in the smoker.

Clod, GOSP & some Kirkland mesquite seasoning.



Pork Butt, Great Basin Rub, garlic powder, onion powder & brown sugar.

Moinks just came out of the smoker for saucing.  YUM! I struggle not to just eat them like this.

Pork butt just hit 170 so I'm pulling it to finish tomorrow with appropriate rest time before party start.

Hey Dave, what size is the butt and how long and to what temp to have it ready to go? Still 195? I am interested in a clod so I can't wait to see your results. Do you know how that stacks up with a steamship round?

Bob, the butt will be pulled and the clod is sliced like a brisket.  I will take the butt closer to 200 and the clod to 195.  I can not compare to a steamship round as I have not had that cut and since this is my first clod, I'm excited as everyone else to see the results. 

Butt was an 8 lber and I'm going to assume 3 to 4 hours to hit my finish temp.

Just pulled the clod at 170 to reserve for finish tomorrow and couldn't resist a taste test.  I find myself speechless other than,

Unfreaking believable!

Seriously guys, I'm not remembering a piece of beef ever feeling like this in my mouth.  This is holiday meal status for me now.

I've not heard of that but it sure likes mighty good. Looks like a good party hunk of meat. So, would you say it's done at 170 then and ready for consumption? Or are you finishing it to 195 still?
