Title: Smoked Corned Beef Packer
Post by: DK117 on March 17, 2013, 02:27:21 PM
a few of these threads floating around, this one is just my take.

12 lb corned beef packer.  Soaked in water for about 7 hours, didn't change out water, in fact I used it for boiling red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage with the corned beef seasoning packet and some garlic powder, turned out well.
Rubbed the brisket with (thanks Hub)
3 TBSP Coarse-ground  black pepper
2 TBSP Garlic powder
1 TBSP Onion powder
2 Tsps Ground Coriander

Loaded the tube smoker and set on smoke about 170 yesterday

After three hours bumped up to 225, ran for another 3.5 hours, 160 or so IT, then foil pan and some of the soaking water and beef broth, and steamed it on the smoker for another 2 hours, about 185 IT.  About 8.5 hours total.    Rest for 90 minutes.

thin sliced this morning for sandwiches next week

Overall pretty decent results.  Quite a bit fattier than the 2-3 lb corned beef flats you seen in most stores.  If we get through the leftovers, which yes at this point it's supposed to be pastrami, I'll do it again next year.

Thanks for looking.

The beef looks great I think, but I may be having flashbacks.  Did you make a sandwich for the peace bears?

sorry I haven't responded to this one.  I can't take credit for the bread.  Wife is a school teacher, one of her kids provided that to us.  We're trying to figure out how her mom did it and asking for a recipe at the same time.  Stay tuned.
