Whole brisket corned

While I cant take credit for corning this myself thought I would share this beauty. This is from Wigley's the best corned beef in southeast michigan hands down.

I have done several of these but I am not a big fan of corned beef so I add the extra spices and turn it into pastrami. Always have lunch meat on hand.

Why not just cure a brisket yourself, it would be a lot cheaper.
Especially since your adding your own spices anyway!

I do it that way. My s.i.l. Is a cattle rancher and supplies beef to relatives and no one likes brisket so I get six to eight every year for nothing. I think my favourite is a special rub for 24 hrs and then into the smoker or crock pot for a long time. Piker

I've done a corned beef packer for St. Patrick's Day for the past several years. Just about a week ago I purchased a corned beef packer (choice) from Cash and Carry for $2.67/lb. I'm planning to separate the point from flat and smoking both on the pellet cooker. Going to cube the point and crisp the bits in the fat rendered from the trimmings. We plan to use the flat for Reubens. Definitely not the traditional St. Patrick's cook, but my wife likes it best, and you know how the old saying goes: happy wife, happy life :D

Piker, stop. Please. You're killing me. Alberta beef?
I read your post to my wife, and she said, "How can anyone not love brisket?"

I forgot to ask you if you guys went there special every year as a traditional kind of thing? Guy at work and his family go every year.

Yeah I go down to Gratiot Central Market often but generally get Wigleys once or twice a year. It really is good stuff.

I'm making some corned beef for a guy at work that gets Wigley's. I haven't stayed yet. Looks like they leave some fat cap on theirs. Do they sell the point and flat pieces also? besides the whole piece?
