Pit Beef

I'm not exactly sure what pit beef is but I have cooked a whole beef shoulder clod (18-20 lbs.) in my FEC before. I cook it at the 240 setting until it reaches an internal temp of 160. It then gets wrapped in foil and cooked until it hits 190-195. At this point, you can either slice or shred it. Make sure you save the juice in the foil and use it for dipping the rolls in or adding to shredded.

I forgot:

1. Hickory pellets

2. one up from bottom rack.

When I cook pork butts I cook to 190 if I do the same with beef won't it be dry?

Go Colts! Just kidding. How are you brother?

Things are hot thanks for sending it our way. This time of year every team feels they will be showing off their rings but it's a long season. Hows the smoker treating you? Cook anything good lately?

It's a big hunk of meat. Plus being wrapped in the foil, I have not had any problem with it getting dry. Like I said, keep the juice in the foil and mix it back in with the meat.

Depends on what cut and how you're trying to finish it. Rare/Med Rare like a steak or to temp, like a shoulder clod.

Top round is what most deli's use for Roast Beef slices, is that what you're trying to achieve?


Then you need to cook it like a steak, to a set temp.

Here's a photo of sirloin, cooked to 135, in an FE. Just Montreal Steak Seasoning. It was a 10 lb roast. A KEY for this kind of meat is to take it out and let it hold for at least an hour or two. Helps the juices settle back in, just like a steak, but hold it longer.

That is a beautiful looking beef

Thanks Kathy,

WHO says you can't get a Smoke Ring in an FE?

Just wondering if you cooked a whole Sirloin in Great Bend of just the mimimum Smokin Okie???

Thanks SmokinOkie Wow! I'm VERY hungry now. I think you hit it on the head I'm trying to cook beef like pulled pork. How long do you cook it for, what kind of pellets did you use and how long did you let the seasoning sit for?

Good looking plate of beef. Nice job Russ. Enjoyed talking to you at Ft. Rucker, and hope to see you down the trail.
