St Patrick"s Day Plan???

[Roaniecowpony]

We're far enough out for some planning here. I'm thinking this is my first really good excuse to buy a prime packer and strip off the point cut and make some great burnt ends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take the flat cut and make some corned beef/pastrami as well. But the real treat is the burnt ends. Hail St. Patrick!

What's your plan?

Unfortunately I'm not a planner. I will just be walking thru the store and looking over the meat and something will catch my eye and I buy it. I haven't been able to get the briquets I like lately so haven't done a brisket in awhile. I like a lot of smoke flavor and pellets just don't do it for me, so I do the first 6 hours or so on my stick burner. It will take another week or so to get back to normal here in north Texas for the food supply I'm guessing so it is going to be hotpockets for awhile.

My plan for St. Patty's day is the same every year. Wait until after St. Patty's and buy the corned beef on clearance.

There is a Traeger corned beef recipe using apricot bbq sauce and mustard....It's great!!!

It's Paddy, not Patty. Ever.
Saint Patrick's Day? Grand.
Paddy's Day? Sure, dead-on.
St. Pat's? Aye, if ye must.
St. Patty? No, ye goat!

After I started curing my own corned beef, me and the wife just don't have the taste for the store bought type anymore. I cured a few tritips and they were great for sandwiches. This year, I'm going to split a huge brisket flat with a friend.

The point is mine, mine, mine. Burnt ends for fridge candy.

I picked up a 20 lb prime brisket at Costco yesterday. I parted the big point off the flat and put it on the Bull for some burnt ends an hour or so ago. The flat is huge and I cut it in half to make for a couple big corned beef pieces.

I have to make up my corning brine today.

The point is ...

Basting/spritzing with water/veggie oil/brown sugar.

Just before wrapping/traying.

Done, layered sauce and rub and time in smoke.

The Flat pieces are in the juice as of last night.
