Hold the mayo

I bought a corned beef a while back and was going to boil it, but then I got a wild hair and thought, "I wonder what it would taste like smoked?" So Saturday I soaked some hickory overnight, and Sunday I smoked it in my electric smoker over water (with the brine and seasoning packet added). I smoked it for eight hours, then put it on a rack over a pan of water and baked it at 375° for another 75 minutes or so. The results were very good. It was tender and tasty.

Turns out I independently discovered how to make pastrami!
