After bitching about brisket prices at work, a co-worker says I should just buy a corned beef (less expensive), reverse brine by putting in water and I would have a brisket flat ready to smoke. I think he is out of his mind...........need help from the pro's to silence my workplace Cliff Claven!!

    That works for pastrami. Its still corned, BTW prices here are the same if anything for the 2 cuts.

    you will never get a corned beef to taste like a texas brisket
    :)) now if you soak then smoke a corned beef til 180 internal then pressure cook it for 20 minutes you will have some great pastrami for sandwiches

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

    Agreed- it will be good but not the same.  That's like saying you can soak a pickle in water and get a cucumber :). 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
