 "heyjoe" pointed out down the thread corned beef is usually
brisket. flat or round (point) brisket is very tough and it
needs high temp to make it tender. at 190F start checking it for
doneness. when it's done the probe of a thermometer or a dull
steak knife will go in like a hot knife in butter. before it's
done, they'd require some effort to push in. being a bbq guy,
i've seen brisket done in the low 190s to 205ish. every piece
is different.

To clarify, by high heat he does not mean a blazing grill.  It has to be brought to a high temperature over moderate heat to break down the collagen and become tender.
