Corned Beef Brisket Point

[Tenpoint5]

I have had this corned beef brisket floating around in the wife's freezer for awhile. So I got it thawed out and stood there scratching my head as what to do with it. Really didn't want to make pastrami just yet. So I made a few calls to some of the guys on the forum. Got a few Idears and it kinda went like this. Took the 2.82 pound chunk of meat and flopped it in a stock pot with water for 3 hours changed the water every hour. to cut some of the salt in it. Then loaded it in the Bradley at 250º, gave it 2 hours of Hickory smoke and after 5 1/2 hours the IT was at 157º. I pulled it out let it rest for 20 minutes under foil then sliced. Looked like this:



I don't know why but it seems we always have the same thing for supper when I am taking plated pics. Hash-browns with cheese, Corn, and Peaches and Pears. Oh Well it works for me!! It sure tasted good.

Hey ... shere's mine ?    :D

Sure looks good to me.

We have 2 refrigerators and one BIG (23 cu ft) chest freezer.  Wish the wife would own one - she says they are all mine.   ???

What was that sound?

That was the sound of my lips smacking. 

Where's the saurkraut and brown mustard?

Thats an awful nice hunk of meat to have laying around in the freezer.  I just bought a 5lb at sams Yesterday. Cant wait to smoke it on Sunday.  Pastrami Time!

Actually I think there is another one floating around in her freezer as well. This one was a really small chunk when all was said and done. Not that it made any difference on the taste it tasted great. Maybe I will make some Pastrami with the other one when it surfaces again

Mmmm, pastrami!

That's really a good looking hunk of meat.  When I do a point it usually comes out kinda stringy.

Looks mighty good.

What did you think it tasted like?

Just curious.
