    Just did a search for corned beef temp and this is the only hit, from back in August 2015.
    iGrill2 says brisket should be 160 - not in my house!! I was thinking closer to 200, guess I'll just poke it until it feels right.  (Yeah, I said that, go ahead.... I know there's a lady parts joke in there)

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    @DieselkW  You will find many discussions if you search for pastrami.   

    Good set of instructions at:

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    I usually start from scratch with about a 7 lb. brisket split into halves to make the corned beef.    After it is cured, I turbo cook the corned beef indirect at 275-300 until it reaches a temperature of about 160.   Then I foil each half of the corned beef tightly with about 1/3 cup of beer for each half and continue cooking until it reaches a temperature of about 200-205 degrees.  I then wrap each piece and put them in an ice chest for about two hours.  Finally, I add put them back on the egg, still using the indirect method, to dry the surface of the meat.  Turns out great.
