But the real reason is to show the really nice piece of Corn Beef I just got at our Costco. It is Choice, round  and nice and thick,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 
I will be watching Gray I love Pastrami made from corned beef. Post pics I am drooling already.

XLNT...I must go the Costco here and see if we have any in stock. That's the same brand I've seen in Costco here. Let the games begin, huh? You can't beat a home done pastrami even if starting with a corned beef....Willie
 
I been doing 180 but before I serve I steam the whole piece in a make shift steamer, I use dark beer, and cut it by hand, l steam 45 min or so, you can tell when it's ready
 
Round? So it's a top or bottom round cut? Never seen that corned commercially.

Never gave it a thought, looked like a brisket but very lean.  If I get a chance I will give the company a call, I believe they are in San Jose, Ca.
 
It looks excellent, Graywolf.

Do you have any sliced pictures?  Is the steaming simply to finish the cooking, or is there another benefit to the final result?
 
I have that piece of meats brother defrosting in the sink and will be smoking it this weekend.  I will post some pics as well.  When I make my rub, I take the 2 spice packets that come with the corned beef and run through my old coffee grinder to make a powder.  It gets mixed in with the rest of my spices as part of the rub. 
 
Dave, everything I read say, "throw the spice packet away, that corn beef flavor" , you may want to consider a rub "similar" to mine.I think black peppet, coriander, and garlic. Is the key. Show us your when you get going. Joe

Have you checked the spices that come in the packet?  They are the same as what you are using with the addition of a couple more.  LOL!
