Well it was a several day process but it is finally done! Made corned beef brisket from scratch. Brined for seven days, smoked in the egg for four hours, then steamed in the oven for another three! Best pastrami I have ever had! Finished with Rye bread, bacon, and cheese  =)

    Looks really good.  It was great that you made the effort to do it from scratch.  Well worth it.

    Thank you! It was great. It may take seven more days to do it from scratch but you are right it was definitely worth it!

    I think you also get a better piece of brisket when doing it from scratch. Most of the corned beef pieces I've seen in the store (especially the cheap ones sold right after St. Patricks's Day are low quality.
