What to put in the smoker this weekend?

Was in the mood for ribs and almost picked up a rack at the commissary but then I saw a this beautiful flat of brisket that I HAD to pick up. Only question when I got home was whether to rub it for smoking or maybe experiment with corning it.

Has my vote. It's on my later in springlist.

Picked up the spices for Alton Brown's recipe (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...ef-recipe.html) after work and made the brine. Brisket is now curing for 10 days. In spirit of the thread title, I think I'll cut it in half at the end and smoke one half to make pastrami. The other half will of course be boiled per tradition with carrots, cabbage, and potatoes.

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:

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!

Okay Jimmy James, here is what I'm working with. I just pulled it in from outside. Otherwise, I sprayed it out real well when I first got it.
