Ingredients

2-3 Lb Store-bought Corned Beef With Spice Packet *Note 1

Instructions

Pre-heat the smoker to 250°F. Aim to keep the temperature between 225 - 250°F, if using a charcoal grill.
Rinse the corned beef roast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the outside of the roast with the included spice packet.
Transfer the roast to the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 2.5-3 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the corned beef from the smoker and transfer to an aluminum foil pan along with the beef broth. Cover with aluminum foil and place back on the smoker and close the lid.
Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 190-205°F, about 2 hours.
Remove the corned beef from the smoker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting into 1/8"-1/4" slices.

Notes

Note 1 - You can use the store bought spice package or use your own favorite spice mix.

Note 2 - If you're using a pan larger than an 8"x8" you'll need 1-2 cups more of beef stock.
