Smoking Beef Heart?

[touras]

I'm thinking about doing a beef heart on my smoker. Looking for any input if anyone has tried this.

I'm listening.

I'm thinking marinade for a couple of hours and then throwing it on low and slow. I'll post some pics later.

Left it in a marinade for 3 hours. Cooked the heart at 200 until it hit 130. Came out pretty chewy so it's going in the slow cooker to try and salvage it.

I was going to say beef heart is always tough its all muscle there is not much you can do to get it to be tender .
I love beef heart as a kid mom would flour it and frie in a pan and my wife who grew up on the farm takes it boils it chucks it up and make stuffing and bakes it again it comes out pretty good

I've done heart in a slow cooker many times and its always come out pretty tender. I thought I'd give it a try on the smoker. It tasted really good but was a lot chewier.
