Corned beef brisket temp ?

dbondy · February 24, 2011, 07:59:18 AM

Just wanted some sugestions on the IT temp for a corned brisket, I just pulled it out of the brine and rinsed it of. I was thinking of a temp of 180 but not to sure any help would be greatfull. Thanks.

Are you making pastrami or smoking it like a beef brisket?

I take pastrami to 152-155F, brisket to 180F

What do you plan on doing with the CB?

If you plan on slicing paper thin for making sammies I would go to 155 160 F

If you plan on slicing into slabs I'd go to 180 185 F

Thanks guys. I guess its going to more like pastrami becuase I'm going to give it a dry rub and smoke it in the obs. I'm also going to slice it up for sammies. Just didn,t know if I should bring it up to 180 or stop at 155-160 because its a brisket.

If I'm smoking pastrami, I pull it at 165^o, then saran wrap and FTC for a couple hours before putting in the fridge for a day. Then slice and reheat for sandwiches. I'd probably do the same for corned beef. Like they said, uncured brisket goes higher, usually 180-185^o.

Now you have enough opinions to blame someone no matter what happens.

Like some of the others have said, if you're looking for pastrami I would pull it at 155.

Finally got some pics, came out great. I used Ryteks brine recipe for corned beef with add red pepper flakes , cayenne and pickling spice then let sit in the brine for 5days. After I rinsed it off I gave it a dry rub of paprika and Montreal stake spice before it went in the OBS.

All ready for some sammies.

Looks good. Did it pass the Official taste tester, I see in the lower right of the last picture??

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that looks moist N tender.

How'd that big ol' pile of beef taste?

Thanks guys it has a nice mild flavor of the stake spice and to salty either. It was smoked for 3hrs with cherry and wasn,t to smokey , over all i,m very happy with it. My 3 year old seems to like it he can,t keep his fingers out of it. ;D
