Where it comes fromShoulder

On the grill

Usually reserved for the stockpot, but neck responds just as well to a long indirect cook on the grill, provided you resist the urge to rush it with high heat.

Bone-in pieces hold together better on the grate than boned neck fillet. Cook until the meat yields easily rather than to a strict number.

Seasoning

In the grill

110 °Cindirect

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

Smoke it with cherry, oak or whisky-barrel oak.
