Ingredients

  • 1 raw corned beef about 3 to 5 pounds
  • water

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 275°F. Set the high-temp alarm to 300°F and the low-temp alarm to 250°F. Monitor the smoker to ensure it stays within the desired range.
  • Rinse the corned beef and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Insert the penetration probe into the corned beef and place it in the smoker. Set the high-temp alarm on the meat channel to 160°F.
  • When the alarm sounds, place the beef in a pan and add enough water to come 1/3 of the way up the side of the meat.
  • Wrap the pan tightly in foil, insert the probe through the foil into the meat, and reset the high-temp alarm for the meat to 203°F.
  • Cook the corned beef in the pan until the alarm sounds. Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm that the meat has reached 203°F throughout.
  • Remove the corned beef from the water pan and wrap it tightly in two layers of heavy-duty foil, and then wrap it in a few kitchen towels. Let the corned beef rest in a cooler for one to two hours.
  • Slice thinly and serve on bread or with your favorite sides!
