Ran into this while surfing cooker sites. This cut seems to evaded for
the most part a presence on afb. Anybody ever try one of these
monsters? Also looks like a nice alternative to the usual gang of
four.

The chuck rolls I get run around 20 lbs. I almost always cut
them in half and freeze one piece, cook the other. Works
great.

I think that's one of the reasons it's not a real popular
cut... people think they need to cook the whole thing at once.
At 50% shrinkage, you end up with 10 lbs of meat.

Well they are only 9 miles from me so I will have to go check them out. They
really slipped under my radar. I guess that I have been looking for
terrorist and tornados too much.

Is that a boneless cut?

I think it is from reading the following site, but I'm not sure.

I also didn't seem any mention of bone in the site Pierre mentioned.

A bit more, where I get them. They run 18-20.

Yes! Parts of rib end are relatively tender and can be cooked
medium rare. The rest gets smoked till pullable, or braised.
