Shin works very well for slow-cook. Never smoked it though.

Posted: 24 Sep 2014, 14:10I can vouch for a goodly sized piece of chuck, loads of connective tissue and the bonus is if it doesn't pull properly 
it still tastes great sliced

of course slow cooked beef is like fried chicken and sex even if it is quite poor it is still extremely good.
But I would like to offer up the beef skirt, this is my cut of choice for slow cooker chilli, I have smoked it as well and its bloody fab......also those resteraunt owning buggers haven't made it trendy like belly pork and lamb shank so its still fair value......why cant they stick to their tenderloins and the like......because the thieving gypsy bastards can still charge £25 for beef 3 ways when 2 of them are the cheap cuts.....robbers and villains....
Sorry err, beef skirt very good....
Cheers

You never fail to make me smile. Such a way with words.
Here here. I love pork belly but it is silly money now.
I have heard skirt is good for slow cooking.
I think chuck is good too. As said lots of connective tissue n fatty bits.
