Better BBQ Than Brisket? | BBQ Beef Shoulder | Ballistic BBQ

Old-School 24 hours cook here! Have you ever had BBQ Beef Shoulder? Well, you may want to give it a try one of these days. This huge cut of beef that cooks up super tender and favorable. I smoked this shoulder on my Lone Star Grillz Vertical Offset: lonestargrillz.com and it ran like a champ! Beef shoulder costs less per pound than brisket and serves a lot more people. The average shoulder weighs in at a whopping 20 pounds!

The first Barbecue Pit family restaurant was opened on Dec. 16, 1947. It was located in the Maryland Hotel on 6th Ave. in downtown San Diego. It was opened by Joe & Lila Browning and Ed & Mella Jenson. Lila and Mella were sisters. Joe Browning arrived in San Diego during World War II as a member of the U.S. Navy where he fell in love with and married Lila Coates. Joe came from Texas where he learned the barbecue business from his step-father, R.T. Shoemaker. R.T. owned several barbecue restaurants in the Dallas area called “Shoemaker’s Famous Barbecue”. After the war, it took just one hot summer in Texas to convince Joe and his new bride, Lila, that San Diego was the place for them.
Joe and his brother-in-law, Ed Jenson, pooled their resources and opened the first two “The Barbecue Pit” restaurants in San Diego. The first one was in the Maryland Hotel and the second one was opened approximately a few days later at 1413 Market St. Over the years there have been many locations: North Park, Pacific Beach, National City, Linda Vista, 6th Ave. in San Diego, 63rd and El Cajon Blvd., El Cajon Blvd. in El Cajon, Escondido, Kearney Mesa, Chula Vista, Fletcher Hills and San Marcos.
Currently, there are two restaurant locations owned by Joe & Lila’s son, Gary and his wife, Sue. At the FLETCHER HILLS and NATIONAL CITY restaurants, Gary & Sue Browning along with their sons, Todd and Tim, continue to maintain the high quality of homemade and slow-cooked barbecue that was established years ago.

Part of the Shoemaker family here in Texas. This was awesome. Miss my grandpa's store in Terrell, TX everyday.
Greg, way to tame the Beast! No tattle tale temp probe… no foil... just fire and time. Makes me want to howl at the moon… a real man’s feast! Great video (and that basket is a game changer).
ABSOLUTELY MOUTH WATERING!!! Love the way that you explain everything in detail. My kids love brisket! I am so gonna try this next weekend! Thank you
Thanks Greg!! All the way from the UK Stay safe.
Absolutely amazing. Thanks
After watching this I went and got a 20 pound shoulder and was super happy the it turned out it my wife liked more then my brisket so thank you for making this video Sir.........
Perfect slice. Love this old school cut.
Greg you are the KING of shoulder clods! Very few videos on smoking shoulder cold and you’ve done four. A 24 hour cook on a stick burner is impressive. Great job man. Thanks for sharing the BBQ history too. I had read in a BBQ book that shoulder clod was what they did in the old days, not so much the brisket.
I was born in San Diego and moved to Texas when I was 18. After 42 years in Texas cooking and after building my own pits, You are doing what I do. Low and slow at 225 is the way to go. Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas has been doing shoulder clod for years. Clod is the unsung hero of true Texas BBQ. Nice smoke ring! Great job for a Left Coast guy!
Balder - you are exactly right! Can't beat the backdrop.
This literally made my mouth water. Fantastic stuff Greg!
As a long-time old-school Texas smoker -- I will say I like your video very much. I have a problem watching most smoke videos, as most presenters talk down. The other problem is they do not know what they are saying. It's obvious that you have smoked quite a few briskets/clods. To that, you are aware of the slow and low type of smoking. I, too, like how you watch the smoker's temp and not the meat's temp. We all know the meat will be smoked/cooked with enough temp; the key factor is the smoker's temp. The wood slices, was that oak? I'll bet in CA, it's tough to get mesquite or hickory chunks. In Texas, as you know, we use oak and or exclusive mesquite. You could find wood chips at most hardware box stores. Too if you hadn't done it, try pecan wood for your fish and poultry (peppery flavor). Yet, be careful; only smoke them for 30 or so minutes, they will get too much smoke flavor -- then finish off on a typical grill. You used a Shun Knife for cutting your cow...wow! My several Shun's are used for many things...not sure if I'd use them for smoke clod. Lastly - to those who are watching and reading. If you want to know the best 'cut' pieces once smoked -- watch what the pitmaster picks from. Trust me!! If they have any skill, they'll instinctively know what pieces taste the best. Thanks for sharing your skill, and thanks for the video. (If you ever get back in Texas -- Kreuz's, in Lockhart, Texas. They are the TOP SHELF of smoking meats!)
I love watching you cook those beef clods. I remember one from years ago... that was a great time.
Amazing cook. Really liked the short history lesson.

It's one of my favorite things about his channel. His videos are all full of that kind of thing. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does.
That color you achieved! I was at Smart & Final this morning picking up brisket and pork butt and they had one of those monster shoulder clods. I remembered your previous clod videos and I was tempted, but refrigerator space was limited after this shopping run. Seeing your latest cook of this cut makes me REALLY want to try this :)

I grew up in national City and grew up eating at the BBQ pit in National City!! I absolutely love them
Love your beef shoulder videos, Greg.
I love your videos. Been watching for the last 2-3 years. I don't really like to cook, but you really get me jacked up. Your burgers are the best!
That looks amazing. I'm gonna have to try this.
That was a awsome vid Greg. never seen a whole beef shoulder done before thats bad ass. and it looks amazing🖒🖒
Channeling your inner Baby Back Maniac with the rain there... Man... That looks like something I need to try looks like it could easily feed you for a week! Thanks for sharing.

Cool cook looks amazing
Looks amazing, I purchased your book recently and some of the sauces/recipes are out of this world especially the cola BBQ sauce
Man that smoke ring is gorgeous!! Nice and tender.
I'm near Portland Oregon, now, but I'm from San Diego. I grew up with my dad taking me to The Barbecue Pit all the time. When I visit, I have to go there a couple of times. My favorite BBQ, and I love their sauce. I love the giant long horn steers on the wall and old school photos. I remember that beef shoulder just running juices as they cut my BBQ beef sandwich. Definitely, whole shoulder clod is the way to smoke.
Looked so good!
Outstanding!!!
Love your videos Greg!
That torch looks so badass!!
That looked like a chunk of heaven......man, my mouth is watering. That was a big chunk of meat.............are you social distancing or are the neighbors going to break down the fence and get some. I can't imagine living next door to you and not wanting to crawl over the fence for a bite. Good video.
Looking good! I cook brisket regularly, never thought about beef shoulder. Cheers!
So incredibly awesome. I like that you introduce us to different rubs and sauces. I live in San Diego so I’m definitely going to give the Barbecue Pit a try
That was awesome. I felt like I could smell it through the screen, man. Great job.

You're an artist Greg, keep up the great work
Never ever a thumb down, three thumbs up 👍👍👍 great Video
I love it every time you do a clod video. They look so unbelievably delicious!
Been thinking about this for a long time. I did a chuck roast almost like that, well, very not like! But this view gives me more hope!
I remember your first try on the Rec Tec, it was awesome then and still awesome on the Lone star. Great bark Greg and Great cook!!!

Looking good bud thanks for making our cooking better..
Greg that bark was fanominal!!! Great cook

4:31 might be my favourite part of this video. Greg snorting and admonishing himself was hilarious. Great video though, Greg. I'd probably toss a distant family member into a crowd of people for a slice of that shoulder.
Holy cow shoulder! That bark was insane! Thanks for the video and losing sleep for us Greg.
My mouth is watering! Still have about 2hrs left on mine.
I planned vacation for Easter so here I am off for a whole week with nothing to do. You inspired me to try this out. Hopefully I can find a shoulder clod. If not I’ll do a brisket. Great video sir. 👍🏼
Great cook!...Wish it was realistically priced where I'm at in Florida..Also watched you on Ricer's bbq tavern talk..Kept us very entertained! Great video!
Thanks Greg another great cook. Keep them coming my friend. Older hamburger redos are good too!

Glad I found your video. I always wanted to do a shoulder clod. But never had the balls to try it. But I know what I’m smoking next. I’m in San Diego and I know where both BBQ pits are.
I cannot wait to have a stick burner in my life. Excellent cook Greg!

Russ Eagle that’s a super nice hobby!! I’d recommend an electric one that way you can go to sleep carelessly while the meat is getting cooked.. get an electric one with the cold smoke attachment that way while running both non stop your barbecue gets that dark bark we’ve seen on this video!! :-)
Greg this was an amazing video!! 24 hour cook... that’s awesome! The beef looked soooooo good!! I wish I had one of those smokers... stay safe my friend!! Cheers 🍻

Wow! Amazing job!!! ✊✊✊ The infamous shoulder clod, ppl here in North Jersey don't know about this. Great video
Very interesting video Greg. I’ve never seen one on a shoulder slab before but that was perfection! Gorgeous bark and smoke ring. And dang that cooker is incredible. I’m going to try this on my Rec Tec pellet grill. Thanks for sharing!
New subscriber here. Looks wonderful, love the out of norm cuts! Look forward to more of your videos.
That looks Dam good.
Honestly who tf is the 9 people who show up here and dislike the video within the first couple of hours of it being up? I'd understand if this was about politics or something controversial but its a guy grilling stuff in his back yard. What even is the point of disliking it? Anyway, facial hair is on point, Greg. And great video as always!
