If you smoke that corned beef, it will become pastrami. Which is just more steps than I can to go through to make a sandwich, no matter how good it tastes. Curing and then smoking is a lot of time if you're making it from a fresh brisket. Probably a 6 day project from start to finish. I'm impatient enough for a 18-hour smoke
Yeah, you would have to be a huge pastrami fan to go to all that trouble.
If I had a smoker I'd buy a corned beef brisket that is already cured just to give it a try. But to guys who smoke it seems like picking the spices/rubs/sauces and prepping the meat themselves is half of the fun
