Son in law pick up a wagyu 8lb shoulder roast today for fathers day bbq any suggestion on how to treat this peace of meat from should it be injected temp . Would like to smoke with a with a pork butt
Since it should be well marbled for a shoulder I think it would do well without injecting, and could stand cooking at a higher temp than 225. I would hate to lose all that delicious fat by extending the cook any more than needed. Wagyu fat melts at a lower temp than typical beef fat.
Remember shoulder roast is not graded as steaks are. It may have came from a cow that gave waygu steaks, bit it my not have any extra marbeling. I ALWAYS inject shoulder clods. Cook like brisket, but be prepared for a LOOOOOOONG cook. 36 hours is what I allot for me at 225. Crutch it always. trust probe tender.
