What the heck is a beef shoulder arm roast and how the heck do I cook/smoke it?

[dtsdowntosmoke]

Hey everyone. I have some friends coming over and I'm going to smoke a couple of butts in either my BGE or my WSM this weekend. However, I asked my wife to pick up something she would like and she brought home a 2.57 lb "beef shoulder arm roast." I have no idea what it is or how to prepare it.

Any suggestions? Can it go in the smoker? What should I put on it?

Thanks

BB

Beef arm is really chuck roast. They turn out really good in the smoker. I like to put salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder on them. Chuck has very good flavor on its own. Here are a few threads from others that look very good.
