Pastrami dinner

Decided to do some pastrami sandwiches for dinner tonight. Ended up having to foil it to help speed it up so I didn't get the "look" I was hoping for but the flavor was very good. I made my sandwich on rye with havarti cheese, onion, deli mustard and topped it off with a pickle slice. My wife put coleslaw on hers and opted out of the pickle slice. Overall I was very happy with it and was to busy eating and forgot to take photo evidence of my sandwich.

    Looks good!  Did you cure the meat yourself?

    No I did not, it was kind of a last minute idea. I bought a corned beef brisket from Costco

    Excellent! I just bought one from Costco today, too... Along with about twenty lbs of pork belly. Can't wait to make pastrami this week!

    Did you soak it in water before smoking it?  I usually cure briskets myself but I just bought two corned beef points and ai will give it a try.  I don't want it to be too salty.

    I did not soak prior to smoking it. I rinsed it in cold water and dried it off. I actually have another one going today. My dad is in town and asked if I would do another one. It's been on the medium for almost 1-1/2 hours so far. I am firing up the large now to get it ready for the 3 slabs of ribs I'm doing.
