Video Description
• This Thor’s Hammer beef shank is a straight up showstopper. I’m breaking down everything you need to know to turn this tough cut into a tender, juicy, flavor packed monster on the smoker. From trimming and seasoning to smoke, wrap, and rest — this cook delivers insane bark, deep beef flavor, and that signature bone handle presentation.
• If you’ve never cooked a beef shank before, this is the perfect guide. Whether you call it Thor’s Hammer, Volcano Shank, or just a giant beef shank, this cut is one of the most underrated pieces of meat in BBQ. Long cook times, big transformation, and crazy visuals — exactly what backyard BBQ is all about.
• Cooked on: Pit Boss Navigator Series 1600 Seasoning: Arnie's Asada OG & WOW Fuel: Pit Boss Competition Blend Pellets
