Smoked Corned Beef Brisket Video

grussem · January 2014

Hey all, I just uploaded a new video to my youtube channel on smoking a corned beef brisket. It's the first corned beef brisket I did on the egg. The only thing I will do different next time is soak it longer as it was a bit too salty. Anyhow, watch, enjoy and subscribe. My channel is in its infancy and I will be adding more as time goes on.

Great video. I love the musical additions. I would add some transitions to your edits, perhaps explaining what you are going to do next(like the FTC part).

Where are you from? I hear Chicago but I see San Jose.

Thanks for the tips! Actually I was born and raised in Philly, joined the USMC and after 8 years active duty settled in Monterey County CA. I'm still slowly learning how to do the whole iMovie thing to make my videos better. I'm a die hard Philly fan (they're my #1 teams) but I also love my NEW local teams (Sharks, A's, 49ers).

My bad. Don't know why I heard a Midwest accent.

Nice work! The Benny Hill music brought me back a few years.

Looks good. As you found out, those corned beef briskets are really salty. If you haven't checked out Thirdeye's pastrami I'd recommend it: http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/1996/05/beef-pastrami.html

I soak mine for 30-48 hours with a potato cut into quarters (the potatoes help to soak up the salt). Your post reminds me that I haven't cooked one of these in a while!

Thanks for the tip about the potatoes to help absorb the salt. I wi ll have to check out the link you posted. Thanks for the tip!

You can also put it into a fresh bath of water halfway through - that will make a big difference.

Hehe. Hehe. You say "pecan" funny. Joking aside, I enjoyed the video. I generally soak mine for 2-3 days, changing the water out once or twice a day. Try that next time and it won't be too salty. Haven't tried @R2Egg2Q potato trick, but makes perfect sense.
