Pastrami on the Small
I cooked up Thirdeye's wet pastrami(method #2 - http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/1996/05/beef-pastrami.html) last night on the Small Egg.
I had a 2 1/2 lb corned beef brisket point that I soaked with some potatoes for 52 hours in water that was changed every 12 hrs. It was rubbed with Thirdeye's rub recipe and allowed to sit in the refrigerator for a day.
I had really wanted to try to cook it on the Mini Egg but my wife had some turkey meatloaf that she wanted me to cook as well so onto the Small they went:
The meatloaf came out fine:
But the star of the show was the pastrami! Here it is when I foiled it at an IT of 152:
It probed really tender at 193 and after the rest it sliced up really moist & tender:
It was delicious! Thanks Thirdeye!!

Why did you soak it with potatoes?

Good question MikeP.

Potatoes are used by some to soak up some of the salt solution

Yes, the potatoes help soak up the curing salts. We've tried soaking with & without the taters and found without them the beef was noticeably saltier (too salty for our tastes but we prefer lower sodium than most).XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Makes sense. I sometime fry a large batch of pototoes to clean my deep frying oil. The absorb alot of the flavor left after frying fish or other items with a string flavor.
