I think boiling was mentioned because that's a traditional way of cooking corned beef. Since the prepackaged corned beef is brined assuming a boil, you have to remove some of the salt if smoking instead.Never heard of boiling the CB before smoking. I just cold soak with a couple water changes. Then season and smoke.
