Equipment
Method
- Rinse your corned beef and soak it in cold water for at least 2 hours or overnight to remove the excess salt.
- Preheat your smoker to 225 - add your favorite wood. I liked using Cherry or Apple.
- While the grill is preheating grind the spices in the spice pack in a mortal and pestal or coffee grinder. Pat the corned beef dry with paper towels and coat the corned beef with the seasoning.
- When the smoker is ready, place the corned beef directly on the grill, fat side up.
- Once the corned beef hits 165 remove it and put it in the disposable pan. Should take about 3-4 hours depending on size.
- Remove the center core of the cabbage by cutting at an angle. Season the inside of the cabbage head with a good dose of Salt, Black Pepper, & Garlic Powder. Add the butter and mustard. Return the core top.
- Remove the brisket and cabbage in an aluminum pan. Add the beer and extra water so that the liquid is ¾ of the way on the corn beef. Adjust as needed.
- You can up the temp of your smoker to 275 or use the oven if you want. Continue cooking for 1 ½ hrs or until the cabbage is tender and the brisket is 175'. Although 200' is ideal.
Notes
You can use water or stock instead of beer.
