Thanks Ron, but I can't make it to Salisbury. Too busy spraying lawns right now, it's the middle of my busy season.
Hey Dan, did you see Blinddogs post about pastrami in Basso's forum? Something about steaming it for a few hours after you take it of the smoker...

Some commercial outfits steam pastrami, I think.

That really looks good. I love Pastrami and would like to try it. What cut Brisket did you use, or did you smoke a corn beef? Did you put a rub on it after taking it out of the brine?

Hey Big George,

I am sorry I missed your posting earlier. I did a full packer trimmed down. to almost a flat. Left a little of the point on it where it joins the flat and kept it even thickness so the brine would be even throughout the meat.And yes I rubbed it after the brine, Nothing you can't google for. Haven't developed a special rub yet.

I have also smoked a corned beef in the past, But they seem to come out salty to me. That is why I tried it from scratch. Was OK would change a few things I think next time. But then again I never seem to be happy with the results of anything. I think that is have the fun I get to keep tinkering around with the recipes...... Laughing

Hope this helps, Let me know if you give it a try, and how it turns out.

Thanks for the reply. You were busy with a comp so I did not expect one fast. Did you check out the one from the smoke ring that I listed. That looks good too, although he uses a lot mor salt peter than you do. Don't want to cause any problems by using too much of that stuff.

Well I am finally giving the Pastrami a shot. Put it the brine last night. I need to learn how to trim a brisket. I got a packer and when I was done it was pretty thin as I tried to trim off all the fat except for the quarte inch layer on the top

I tried the Pastrami. Soaked it in brine for a week. Put on the rub and smoked it. It was a too salty for me. Probably should have soaked it in water after the brine for a few hours. Next time I will put less salt in the rub and put less rub on the meat. When I tokk the rub off the meat the meat was very good. Will definately have to try it again.
Thanks
Mutha
