Smoked Corned Beef, and Smoked Corned Beef is Pastrami!!! Patti found corned beef on sale for $1.69 a pound. To say the least she bought a load of them for the freezer. So, we are going to enjoy smoking them for awhile. This is the first one we have ever smoked and it was fantastic. We also cored a head of cabbage and stuffed it with sweet onions, garlic and melted butter then smoked it along with a skillet of red potatoes.

Smoked Corned Beef
A Wood Pellet Grill Recipe

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Grill: Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill
Pellets: Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Pellet Gourmet Blend

Ingredients: Smoked Corned Beef

1 corned beef brisket, this one was 4 lbs.

Directions: Smoked Corned Beef

This is amazingly simple for how good it was. You just take the corned beef out of the package rinse it off and do a hot sear on the grill.

Sear at 400 degrees (205c), about 6 minutes per side with a quarter turn at the 3 minute mark. Then turn the grill back down to 225 degrees (107c). Place your corned beef in the pan directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for 2 hours or so. This is referred to as “Smoking” or “Hot Smoking”, the temperature is 225 degrees (107c).

I smoked it for 2 hours @ 225 degrees (107c). Then I covered it with foil added the cabbage and potatoes to the grill for another hour. Looking for an I.T. of 200 degrees (94c).

After an hour cover the cabbage and increase the heat to 300 degrees (149c) for 30 minutes.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About Our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Outdoor Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
