Worked muscle. Low and slow, same logic as beef chuck.

Where it comes fromShoulder

On the grill

Like beef chuck, moose shoulder is full of connective tissue built for endurance rather than speed, so it needs a long indirect cook to become tender.

Budget several hours at a moderate dome temperature. It is done when a probe slides in with almost no resistance, not at a fixed clock time.

This takes hours. The fire is barely alive and the meat is never over it.

Smoke it with oak, cherry or beech.
