Shazaam!! I got game
 

I was just cruising through Wally World on a totally non-related
hunt when lo and behold I chanced to see two packer cut
briskets marked down to $1.60/lb. What was I to do? I couldn't
pass that by even though I had no plan to run the pit. Brisket
has been displayed at about $3.50/lb for the last many moons
around here.

I think I'll just corn the flats and smoke the tips. I do dearly
love my home grown corned beef. Oddly, these beeves were
originally priced at $2.48/lb which is much lower then I've
been seeing lately. Give a shit what grade it is. I'm going to
corn some and smoke some. Grade isn't going to matter much
at the end.

Too cool, Howard. Home made corned beef. Homemade pastrami, too?

I have made corned beef two or three times already, but have yet
to brave the smoking to make pastrami. I'm afraid that I cannot
obtain the light smoke and controlled humidity necessary to
properly produce pastrami. And frankly, my corned beef is so
good that I am reluctant to risk any of it to experimentation.

Shit, now you tell me. I already have the flats in the brine and the
points in the smoker pit. I like your idea of making some pastrami
along with a regular pit run to make bbq brisket.
