Here it is rubbed down ready for the smoker.

I soaked in water for two days and rubbed in the fridge for 5 days.

Hey Mikey .

How does the smoke look?

I always worry about getting good smoke.

 

[pc farmer]

Thanks for that Disco.   

I want to try my own corned beef next time.       (  If this turns out good  )

Just wrapped it in foil with 2 cups of beef broth.

Took 3 hours to reach 150 IT.

I loved the rub but the wife said it was too hot.   LOL   I love the butchering pepper.
