    Pastrami or corned beef?

    Hey all, my first post here... Today I purchased my first smoker, a Brinkmann vertical square one. I figured it seemed to tick boxes for $60 - it's charcoal, square, has a water pan, and 2 grill shelves. So, my question is this - I'm just making 3lbs of brisket, half of the 6 pounder I got...
