I don't have a smoker, but I've found directions on the web for soaking charcoal briquettes in water to create smoke.  I also found an article that has you slow simmer the meat and spices, with very little water, so it's cooked, then you can smoke it a bit.  

If you find a way to do it without a smoker that works, I'd love to know! I think Craig Claibourn had a recipe in his New York Times cookbook, but my copy is still packed.  I'm sure he didn't use a smoker.  

Drew, I'm just simmering the corn beef for a couple of hours, then adding the vegies.  Himself exaggerates!  LOL

I'm looking for a really good dessert to pacify his complaints though.  And those complaints coming from someone who would eat lutefisk!!!  geesh.....

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
