EXACTLY, call ahead and ask if they need "days" to cut it, ot if they can cut it while you shop. Either way, it's just a cut of meat they should already be cutting. If they can't, or won't, you might want to question the rest of their offerings.
That being said, thell them you'll be smoking some meat "next weekend", and ask them for a clod. If they say they don't know what one is, or can't do it, then RUN!!! if they can, get one and put an 18-hour slow burn on one that's simply rubbed with salt, pepper, and Cayenne pepper, and you'll be a porn star on your block...
It's like brisket on steroids!!
