Almost forgot one of my favorits.

Mixed all the wet stuff together then added the bread, mixed again then added the meat.

Rolled that out and added more thousand island dressing.

That 4 lb bundle of goodness is in the smoker now gettin 3 hr oak with a cabnet temp of 250F, will pull out when the IT hits 160F
Stay tuned. ;D
this place never fails to amaze me ;D
Can't wait until its done
I want some already and it hasn't even hardly started to cook!!
Looks like the perfect Reuben Roll (assuming your dark rye had caraway seeds in it). As a matter of fact, it looks almost exactly like the recipe I have (which came from a magazine about 30 years ago, although I omit the pickle relish). Only major thing missing is having your expert and experienced taste tester (that would be me) scarfing that puppy down when it comes out of the smoker. Maybe that's a good thing - at least for you.
That looks awsome. Cant wait for the money shot
Dang if that don't get your attention, with some adult beverage that has to be killer...
Its outta the smoker and restin comfortably now.

Come now your teasing us!! Lets see it!!
CURT! Darn you! You beat me to it. I have been scheming all weekend exactly how I was going to put this all together but once again, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
Nice job Curt! Really nice job!
Looks and sounds awesome...really....I never would have thunk it...showed the pics to Bob (the hubby) and now...apparently I have to recreate it! I think I got the gist... ;D
Looks great. Your rolling technique is awesome. First off I could never roll the meat mixture out so even and second I could never roll it up so neatly. Nice job.
Oooohh God ......that looks so good.
Nice job Curt.
Cut that bad boy open!!!! We wanna see :)
I think he ate it all... Then promptly fell down.
Looks Great!!!
Now I have to cure some pastrami just to make some!!! Not a bad problem!
Had a family incident lastnight and that bad boy went right in the fridge shortly after my last post.
Will cut it tonight,,,,,, I want to see the money shot as bad as the rest of you. ;D
Is it going to show up in the Whats for lunch thread today? Hope everything is OK with the family. Or was it just a "A Shiny Thing"

All of those brown dots are the rye bread, surprised they held together after the mixing.
Needs more kraut gonna double it next time.
Guess whats for lunch today. ::)
Curt,
That.Is.Awesome.
Oh man that is a thing of beauty! Looks great ;D
WOWSERS Curt
That looks awesome.
Welp, that was definitely worth the wait! Awesome fattie my friend!
That looks amazing
Great fattie would love to have a slice off that one!
Looks great Curt. I think I would leave the Kraut the same in the next batch. That way you can pan fry up some kraut and add it to the sandwich as your making it. Maybe even a tad more Thousand Island dressing. Just a Thunk
I did add 1/4 cup dressing to the meat mixture along with the slather on the meat,,still needs more.
Think I'll add 1 tsp caraway seed to it next time also.
