Corned Beef

I am thinking of making this for St Patrick's day from Scratch, but I want to do a whole 12 to 14 pound packer. Who all has done this and how did it come out? Sounds really good to me.

Once you have made that corned beef, put your egg to good use and make pastrami.

If you want to make it from scratch I found this on "Amazing Ribs'.

I just usually make pastrami and the way to do that is to soak it in water for a couple days and change the water out every 24 hours.  If you want to do it in a day, cut up some potatoes and put it in the water to help soak up the salt from the corned beef.  I then dry the meat off, add seasoning for pastrami and smoke it like I would a brisket.  Look for corned beef brisket points if you are doing it this way.

Here is another way also.
