Anyone have a good recipe about how to slow roast a front shoulder? Either in my charcoal smoker or in the oven.
-
What I was told (and this could be wrong) is the front shoulders aren't very good for a smoker. I was told they have to many tendons in the meat. I grind my front shoulders up and make jerky or burgers. You might be able to use some of it as a slow roast in a crock pot. This is what I've been told as I said before I could be wrong. :knothead: :help: Good luck!

My wife uses shoulder roasts for macahca. Slow cooked in a crock pot. If she gives me permission, I will post a recipe :)

Well Riley, get that recipe and post it, it sounds delicious! And tell your better half thanks from all of us.

Go to the search feature and type in Deer-b-que. The recipe calls for shoulders and sounds really good.
-
the front shoulder is perfect for the smoker just put them in saltwater for 3-4 days and then smoke them for a couple of hours

Cut the front leg portion off, use that meat in chili mix. Leave the bone in the shoulder as this will radiate heat, and make it cook more completely. I use a rub consisting of: Garlic powder, brown sugar, black pepper, seasoning salts and oregano. Mix all that up real good, and while your shoulder is on the heat, slather it with a mixture of 30% Italian salad dressing and 70% melted REAL COW BUTTER. Take the meat off the heat and apply the mix liberally. Sometimes I wrap it in foil after I put all the stuff on, before it goes on the fire, and it sure turns out good.
