Any reason to not smoke the corned brisket?

Smoking corned beef gives you pastrami... So depends on if you want corned beef or pastrami. I've got a brisket in the cure now to turn into pastrami need week.

I've got 2 racks of babybacks on the smoker today:

That's what I said I was doing -- curing the brisket for 10 days then cutting it in half with one half to smoke for pastrami, one half to boil with cabbage and carrots. [Coffee]

Ahh. Smoked it become pastrami , mmm maybe.

For home made / brined CB
I'd bake it in casserole dish. On a rack wrapped in foil, with water in dish. Haven't boiled a corned beef in years. Maybe try it with this CB project.

Had the chance to get a nice piece of freshly smoked steelhead this past week. Awesome. Can't wait to be in a position to catch my own and smoke it up.

I think I'll try this. The "Swineapple". Hollowed out pineapple stuffed with ribs, wrapped in bacon and smoked.

I just posted it in the recent purchase thread but in case anyone here isn't subscribed to that one....

Wifey got me a new GMG Daniel Boone w/WiFi for my b-day to replace my MES30 (aka Easy Bake Oven) and I'm stoked to get this puppy rippin' out some awesome meats!
