Notes
Prep: You can add the mustard and seasoning to the beef up to 24 hours before smoking it to let it absorb the flavors.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Timing: This is a 5–6 hour + cook (like brisket).
2–3 lb corned beef cooks in about 4–6 hours
4–5 lb corned beef cooks in about 6–8 hours
Faster Option: Cook at 275°F and wrap at 150°F to finish in about 4–5 hours instead of 6+. Wrapping earlier shortens the stall dramatically.
