INGREDIENTS
- 3-5 lb. pre-brined corned beef brisket
- Beef & Game Pit Rub
- 1/4 cup beer, beef broth, or water (wrapping liquid)
DIRECTIONS
- Light your Pit Barrel® according to the instructions.
- Remove corned beef brisket from packaging, lightly rinse with water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Lightly coat both sides of the corned beef with Beef and Game Rub.
- Place one hook through the corned beef brisket.
- Hang brisket from rods in the Pit Barrel®.
- Cook corned beef for approximately 1-1.5 hours, or until the center of the thickest part of the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160-170º (shown using the ThermoWorks ChefAlarm®).
- Remove the brisket from the Pit Barrel® to a large platter or sheet pan, remove the hook, and wrap it fat-side-down in a double layer of heavy-duty foil, adding the beer, broth or water before sealing the foil. Tip: Wrap it as tightly as you can without piercing the foil.
- Remove the rods from the Pit Barrel®, install the grill grate, and put the wrapped brisket on the grate with the sealed/crimp of the foil facing up.
- Leaving the rods out, secure the lid, and continue cooking the brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 200º, about 1-1.5 hours.
- Remove smoked corned beef from the Pit Barrel®, open the foil seal about 1 inch to vent the steam, and let it rest about 30-40 minutes.
- Carve the smoked corned beef against the grain.
- Plate and serve.
