My last St Pat's day corned beef got eaten last week. About nine hours on the
smoker.

I guess I like corned beef more than that. If I know there is one in
the freezer, it calls my name. I have been doing them in the big
pressure cooker lately. (cabbage, potatoes, old school) Never tried a
smoked one. I would think a raw brisket would be better for that with
a good rub. I have done that on my old electric smoker.

I did one corned beef on the smoker. Way too salty, never again. I only use fresh brisket on the smoker. When I do my first pastrami, I'll brine my own to control the salt content.
