Believe it or not, you can use either, although I prefer fresh. Another
one of my favorites that people can't believe until they try it, is
smoked corned beef! If you have a desire, I'll let you know the recipe.

I usually simmer corned beef, although I like it roasted also. Never tried
it smoked. Lay it on me!

You must simmer it first, or it'll be too salty. Save the broth for the
cabbage, though! Okay, soak it for an hour in water, drain, refill.
simmer it in water with a couple of bay leaves for two hours, let it
cool, rinse it off. If you have a favorite bbq rub, mix some ground
coriander seed with it, and don't be shy about it. If not, a simple rub
of brown sugar, some lemon pepper, salt, onion power, garlic powder,
paprika, chili powder, and a good dose of ground corianer seed. Rub the
corned beef with it. Put it on slow smoker, 200 to 225. Use oak to
smoke. Leave it about 4 hours, three if it's falling apart. During this
time wet the meat with apple juice. I use a spray bottle. I will
guarantee some fine eating when it comes off. Almost fork tender,
juicy, and tastes a lot like pastrami.


Sounds good. Next time Safeway has the stuff on sale I'll load up.

Thanks!
