Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons ground coriander

  • 1 ½ tablespoons fennel seeds

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoons mustard seed

  • 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket

  • cherry wood chips

Directions

  1. Combine coriander, fennel seeds, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard seed in a small bowl until spice mixture is well combined.

  2. Place brisket in a glass baking dish and rub spice mixture all over meat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

  3. Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.

  4. Preheat a smoker to 240 degrees F (116 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Maintain temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Drain wood chips and place on coals. Place a water pan on the smoker and add water to the depth of the fill line. Unwrap brisket and place on the lower cooking grate; cover with the smoker lid.

  6. Cook in the preheated smoker for 2 hours. Pull brisket from the smoker and wrap tightly in foil. Return to the smoker until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of brisket reads at least 190 to 200 degrees F (88 to 93 degrees C), about 3 hours.

  7. Remove brisket from the smoker and let rest for 40 minutes. Slice corned beef against the grain.
