Anyone make their own, and if so, tell me how. I have suddenly developed an urge to make some, something I've never done.

I love corned beef. Take your brisket. Rub it with a mix of coarse salt and pepper (1 part salt, 2 parts pepper). Smoke at 225-250 degrees until internal is about 200 degrees. I spritz with a vinegar/bbq solution every hour or so. Never mind, that’s how you cook a brisket, not ruin it by corning it. 😉

Yes sir! I made some the other day. I have never cared for it....in its commercial pre packaged form. This home made stuff was excellent. Brined it for 6 days. Its my new favorite way to use a packer cut brisket.
I am MAGA.

Thanks Jim. I'm going to try some, as all I've ever had was the pre-packaged sandwich cuts. Thin as paper and okay, but not great.

James, Was that whole muscle, or the ground canned type. I love the canned for sandwiches. For some reason, it is not available in deli loaf sizes anymore. Never use canned corn beef in a soup or braised dish. It's like a flavored sponge. Batchy!

Years ago, I mean over 40 years, we had a cow break her back on ice. This was back when a locker could butcher a non walking beef. Not to digress too far about all beef being "cow", to some people, this was a cow. Some tough meat. We corned a lot of that.

My wife talked me out of making one on my own, and instead we bought one of the pre-packaged ones that was ready to cook. It wasn't bad, although I know that a homemade one would be better. As I said earlier, I'd only had it in sandwiches, and most of that was the package kind. As was expected, my wife didn't like it. If it ain't steak, hamburger, or beef roast, she finds a reason not to eat it. It's not something I'd want to eat every day, but it was a nice change from the other foods we'd had over Christmas.

Never made my own from other. But, can't even begin to count how many corned beef briskets I've made over the years. Surprised at how many folks have never had or made it.

Denny,
I don't get fancy with them. Just look for a good cut (or 2) with as little fat as possible. Drop in boiling water. Turn the heat down and simmer until breaks with a fork. Turn heat back up a smidge. Add carrots, onion quarters,.and cannage in last hour.
