    We usually smoke ours in a pipe.. I think we’ve been doing it wrong… Might explain a few things though.

  2. Looks good👍Did you do any pre-soaking to reduce saltiness? Some people like a steamed finish like deli’s often do, I like a short time in a pressure cooker.

    I’m fermenting some sauerkraut right now that I want to use when I smoke a corned beef-thanks for the rub recipe.

    Isn’t smoked corned beef just pastrami with fewer steps?

    Cleaning and prepping my WSM for this very thing tomorrow. Soaking in water now.

    Made a rub earlier, coriander seed, anise seed, mustard seed, whole peppercorn, toasted a bit, then tossed in red pepper flake and bay leaves. Ground up but not powder.

    Gonna be my first go as well, hopping the misses like it, if not, more for me

    So basically, take a corned beef, soak it for 24 hours to desalinate, and then smoke ? To what temp?
