Gonna make it this year:
seeing different places where you only put the cabbage in the slow cooker for the last hour, and some saying have it in the entire 8 hours.
anyone with experience?
also some places saying carrots and potatoes for only half the time too.
Corned beef is great. Cabbage is awful.

Damn right.
How long to boil the beef depends on how large it is. Generally no more than 2 - 3 hours. Then make a mustard/vinegar/sugar sauce.
I can see putting the potatoes in there one hour before but the cabbage is the last thing. In fact, when the meat and potatoes are done I would pull all of that out and THEN drop the cabbage in to boil it for a little while.
I know this is nontraditional and not practical for some but it it is absolutely
awesome.
I make the cabbage, carrots, onions and potatoes in a dutch oven
It makes nasty old cabbage taste great!
2. Be careful buying corned beef. Ask the butcher which cut looks the best. There's nothing worse than cooking one up and having it really grisly. It's hard to tell the difference by eye.
