Man that looks outstanding.  Did you get the prime packer at Fergusons?

Another silly question- where did you get the marble rye?

@SmokeyPitt, thank you brother!  Prime packer came from Wilkes as Fergusons didn't have any as I now recall.  The marbled rye came from Publix.  We were most pleased with the Reuben's!  I miss George.

im getting a rueben today for lunch. you did it right, the point is the way to go for pastrami and boil the flat, boiled flats make great sandwiches as well

Perfectly done @bgebrent.
Beautiful plate, tons of flavor all around.
Nice post.  Best thing you could do to a brisket.

brent-   looks awesome.   did you finish with steam.   I just bought a pre-packaged corned beef today.  I will soak overnight but was planning on just cooking on the egg.   
thanks

bgebrent

Thanks.  Assuming yours is pickled and uncooked, smoking it will technically produce pastrami.  Corned beef is pickled/cured brisket (typically the flat) that is simmered several hours in water with pickling spices.  That is what I did.  Either way you should get some tasty eats.

I would smoke then steam if you want the more authentic texture of deli pastrami.  At least with the flat.

Great looking cook. Curious about table. Did you build that yourself?

Thank you, I love it.  I bought the table at Ferguson's Meat Market in Cumming, GA.  A local craftsman builds tables and Ferguson's helps him showcase them.  They are a BGE dealer.
