Corned beef

westexasmoker · March 18, 2009, 08:01:08 AM

Picked up a pre-made corned beef last week for St. Pats day, they were on sale so what the heck! Almost a 4 lb'er resting while the smoker comes up to temp!

4 hours total in the smoker, with 2 hours of mesquite

Then 1 hour in the BE, to crisp things up

Then 1 hour in the hot tub, and FTC for 2 more hours!

Looks great WTS! What liquid was in the tub? Temp? Covered? Gotta try!

Sautaed onion in butter with some salt and pepper, 1 bottle beer, 6 cups beef broth and covered....Temp in the smoker was 220! Turned out very well, not as good as a homemade one, but still most excellent! Thanks!

Questions,

What is your BE? Some other grill?

And the hot tub, back in the smoker?

Yes, I'm doing one tomorrow, so some research.

BE (or more commonly, TBE) refers to Char Broil's Infrared Turkey Fryer - The Big Easy.

"a purist on St. Pats" is a person who cleanses the spirit at early mass, has a potato for breakfast, dedicates the rest of the day to massive consumption of Guinness & Bushmills, and wonders why all those other idjits are so ridiculously dressed.

Damn if I can remember - maybe I just wanted to use green letters for a change.
