Made some pastrami (pics)

Well, fake pastrami - I used a corned beef from the store, rather than brining it myself.

Rubbed it the night before with a mix of cracked black pepper, cracked coriander, cracked mustard seed, onion powder, and garlic powder:





On the Egg with pecan and cherry wood:





At 150 internal, I foiled it with a little beer. I intended to take it to 170 and pull it, but I got distracted by the football game. Ended up taking it off at 190.

But it was great anyway:

I should probably also mention that I soaked it for 24 hours in water prior to smoking, changing every few hours, to remove a lot of the salt.

Looks good, especially after you added the rye bread and the mustard!

Wow - nicely done! I could go for one of those sammiches right now as I'm a bit turkeyed-out.

Very nice. I just got an electric slicer for Christmas, so pastrami is on the short list. I was disappointed in my last one because I couldn't cut it thin enough.

That looks awesome!!!
Soaking is very important for removing access salt and foiling is just as important for steaming and tenderizing. You did it by the book my friend and the results speaks for itself
