Corned beef question

[finman57]

Tomorrow I will be smoking this guy. It's not the typical flat.
I plan on soaking in water first but since it's not a flat are there any suggestions?
Anyone smoke one of these before?
I am using my Weber 22" smoker.

Are you going to make it pastrami? just coat it heavily with pepper and coriander.
Soak it for a couple hours at least, smoke it at 225°-250° ish.
It's got 20% added water and flavorings so it shouldn't dry out on ya.

Since it's an eye of round you will want to pull it out of the smoker at around 140-145.

Don't take it to 205 like you would a brisket flat.

Here is one I did, only I cured it myself instead of buying it already corned.

Good luck!
