Corned beef and cabbage.

Kept the ingredients to the basics as you can see in pictures
Corned beef, onion, garlic, butter and chicken broth.
Poured 1/4 cup of butter into cored cabbage and let it seep into the cracks.
Fried the onions and garlic in butter, then mixed with corned beef
Stuffed the cabbage (packed that baby)

After the smoke part, I wrapped it up and steamed with chicken broth.
Fresh out of the smoker, total smoke/cook time 5.5 hours

The rest of the corned beef was wrapped in tinfoil, in the smoker it went for the last 1.5 hours

Quartered and ready to eat

Here's my plate,

Did you use the skewer to check for doness, or did you go by the time?

I did use the skewer to check when it was done,
it's allot more reliable then going by feel.
Thanks for the tip Habanero.

My liquid of choice would be apple cider vinegar................YUMMO!!!

I wonder how this would be using a red cabbage?

I'm having company this Saturday so it looks like a great time to experiment ;D

I just did up some hot Italian sausage and hickory smoked bacon - almost there. I'm figuring on a small head for appetizers for six.

Ray, I'm sure the red cabbage would work. I'm thinking of rice wine vinegar for mine.

Boy, this stuff is fun :D

I chose apple juice, becuase I sauteed the onions and shredded cabbage with rice vinegar; and the sweetness of the apple juice worked well.

Thanks Habs, sounds good.

Made this cabbage using the bacon. All I can say is WOW!

It's a keeper for sure. Served with a little balsamic vinegar.

Thanks for sharing Smoke some.

;D

Maybe next week. Had pasta with my hot Italian sausage on Saturday. My wife's homeless girlfriend (Julie) made eggplant parm for today. The cabbage just didn't seem to fit in.
