I did my first Corned Beef about 2 weeks ago.
The brine, wait, and cooking took too much out of me to enjoy. I boiled it for about 4 hours, and while it came out pretty good flavor-wise, I couldn't eat it due to how much work it took to complete and the intense smell of it in my house all day. I also did not use curing salt, so the meat came out brownish color, which was not appetizing.
I would like to do pastrami next, but I do not want to do the work and not eat all of it.

Sorry to hear that. Pastrami was not much more work than just smoking a brisket. I’d do it again.

You really need nitrite to change the flavor and give you the color. Don’t be afraid to use it.
