Bought a beef shank yesterday from the butchers, its 5 kg, the only thing I've used shank cutlets for in the past is for making soup, i love the taste of the meat. I'm planning on smoking the whole shank and keeping the drippings and marrow for soup. How long do you think it would need cooked for?

I'll post some pics when its defrosted and ready to go

am I the only beef shank virgin?

I haven't cooked a shank on the BBQ, i would guess it would be low and slow and that the bone would aid in the cooking process.
