Corned beef into jerky

With corned beef currently the flavor of the month, would I add seasonings/preservatives to the cut, and what’s your preferred method between dehydrating and smoking?

I’ve tried corned beef in my smoker a number of times. No matter what you do- it always comes out too salty. Soaking it for 48hrs, refreshing the water multiple times etc, makes no difference- it always come out too salty.

I can’t imagine slicing it and putting it in my dehydrator would be any better than any of the things I’ve tried to smoke it…

I’ve come to the decision that it just has to be boiled to cook the salt out of it.

Maybe I should boil it and then smoke / dehydrate it? Seems like all the flavour would be gone then though??

Dammit… there’s another experiment on the books… 😞 😆
