My first attempt at Alchemy (Corned Beef Brisket ---> Pastrami) Pron heavy

MattCom · Mar 21, 2010

12# Corned beef brisky, soaked for 36 hrs.
Used my WSM, ran it at 230-240, placed it on the bottom rack, fatcap down and had a 13# brisket above it. Apple wood smoke and RO Lump.
Using Thirdeye's tutorial (option #2), It came our great!:clap2:

Rubbed Down.

10 hrs later in the cooler to rest.

Sliced like butter.

Burnt Ends

Happy Freezer!

Oustanding :clap2: I did my third one this weekend and let it get to 180* before pulling. Frig and then steam the next day to 200*. After seeing this I have to try the foil pack method.

Thanks!,
I pulled off the cooker it at 183 internal temp. The brisket finished about 45 later so there was lots of heat in that cooler under 3 moving blankets.
