The spleen is an organ in the upper left abdomen, which filters blood, disposes of worn-out red blood cells, and provides a 'reserve supply' of blood. It contains both red tissue, and white lymphatic tissue. The major (encapsulated) lymphatic organs are the lymph nodes, thymus and spleen.
Place the brined corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven along with the liquid and spices that accompanied it in the package. Pour in enough water to cover the beef, then bring the water to a boil on the stovetop. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the pot. A three-pound corned beef could take three hours or more to become perfectly tender. Check the meat occasionally, adding more water if necessary. The beef is ready when it pulls apart easily.
Best Answer: Sounds like like you're smoking a shoulder or butt. Low & slow is the key to good Q. Ten hours at 225 degrees sounds about right. Your roast will be pull apart tender once the internal temp of the meat reaches 195. I usually only leave my pork in the smoker for 4-5 hours.Once the meat reaches a internal temp of 130 it won't absorb anymore smoke flavor so there's no real point in continuing to tend the smoker. I put it in my oven set at 225 for the remaining cooking time. Beware that 10 hours is an estimate, it could take 12.f your roast is long and thin, it should get a good flavor after 8 hours. Try cutting your roast in half or even thirds. That will definitely help-you can cut the cooking time down to 4 - 6 hours.
