I went to a restaurant today in Columbia, MO called Bandana's (it's a small chain) and instead of brisket, they served 'shoulder clod'.
I was pretty impressed. It has the same beefy flavor as brisket, but a finer grain, almost like a rump roast. It also reminded me of a smoked Tri-tip, but I'm sure it's far less-expensive.
I don't ever remember seeing it at the grocery store, so I'm going to the butcher shop and ask them about it,

Looks tasty!! The clods we get usually weigh in around 22 pounds. We treat them just like brisket. They make phenomenal sandwiches.

"Mrs. Scorch"... that has a nice ring to it. Maybe I'll start calling DW "Mrs. Boss".

Beautiful, just freakin' BEAUTIFUL! I can see the softness and the moisture. Great smoke ring too. Very nice cook, Mr.Porch, very nice indeed.

Ok, success! 7 Hours, foiled at 160 with beef broth, took it off at 197. Mixed a little ketchup with the drippings for sauce. Good smoke ring, fork tender. Will have sandwiches for a while. Very tasty, rivals any brisket I've ever done.

Strat50, does the chuck come from the clod, or does the clod from the chuck? Just curious how they break things down technically. Bet you could cut some great stuff out of a clod.

The clods we get at the restaurant average 5-8 pounds. One has to break them down to remove tendons, etc. if you are cooking to a temp. Whole clods are best cooked(in my experience, at least) as one would cook brisket, chuck(which is where the clod comes from), etc. I use them at work to make chili. It also makes great shredded or pulled beef.

Pretty sure it's another name for chuck roast, at least this has always been my perception. Lots of fats and collagens may be tough if done medium rare-ish. Great cut to take up past well done and hold like brisket, or for pulled beef.
