    I want to make it - I just did not realize that it was that many steps to make.  I was hoping for a simple cook for "THIS" weekend.  That is all.  We usually cook a corned beef brisket in the crockpot with cabbage/potatoes and it takes a few hours.  I have cooked a few BBQ beef briskets (over nighters when I had time and was home) in the past and they have come out good.  I was hoping just cooking a corned beef brisket smoked on the Egg would be it but I have just learned form you and others that its more involved than that.  I want to try it and will but I know I only have ~6-7 hours to cook something on THIS Sunday or we wont eat it.

    When I have cooked a BBQ style smoked brisket its usually ~1 hour a lb or a little over to ~200 and like butta so in my window of opportunity a 4 lb brisket might have worked.  I have a list of people that want me to make pastrami on the Egg and were planning on having some this weekend but I just dont have time.  Kids sports are more important than a piece of meat.

    try this one,  maybe a duplicate,  a couple years ago , I did this and regular corn beef boiling with cabbage, potatoes and carrots,  the pastrami was gone first,


    Not a difficult cook at all, soak the corn beef overnight ( at least ) in fresh water. 

    I smoked with pecan.. it was fabulous.

    I am trying Malcom Reed (HowtoBBQrRight) way of smoking it part way , then braising it on the Egg. I have no idea how it will be, salty, overly tough...not sure. Will let you know how it comes out! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uAPd79VFJP4

    Have to say Malcom Reeds way (but on the Egg) was amazing! So tender, moist and full of intense flavor. The cabbage, I forgot to wrap in foil completely after the 1 1/2 hrs the recipe called for...so I did throw more cabbage in a pan on the stove to simmer incase.
