I am attempting to do a pastrami using Up in Smokes method from a corned beef flat. The flat was rinsed and placed in a ziplock bag with cool water and placed in the fridge. This was done on Monday. The method I am using says to soak it for 2 days, will I see any negative effects from the extended soak? ??? Thanks in advance for any and all help. ;D

I doubt it. Dry it off, put it in a zip lock and fridge it until you're gonna smoke it. It's hard to kill a brisket. The pastrami might come out with a little less flavor (salt) but pack it up with pepper, coriander and/or whatever the recipe calls for.
I have tried mightily to screw these up and have so far failed.
Ditto what Arnie says... I've done a few like this, and they turn out great.
Momma was diggin around in the bottom of the freezer and after cussing me a blue streak for having too much stuff in her freezer. I seen there was three of corned beef packages in there guess I need to make some more myself.
Arnie has you in the right direction WCS
Thanks guys....I knew I could count on you ;D ;D ;D. I will post pics of the finished product.
