10.5 -  Thanks for the fat trimming idea.  I will do that the next time I make pastrami.

Thats some killer lookin pastrami you made there Snelly.

I would cut the fat cap off and put it on the rack above the pastrami so it can rain down all the goodness and still get a good bark. Works for me.

Some people are like Slinkies... They're really good for nothing.
...But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Yes there are scraps left but that was by design.  My Chef's choice meat slicer will be here tomorrow and I will be slicing all the pastrami to break in the new addition to the family!

QuoteWhat recipe did you follow?
I started using Hab's rub from the forum but thats about all I used.  Honestly I just winged it.  I read a lot of forums and talked with Ky and UIS about their methods and then just experimented. Here is the run down:
1 5lb store cured corned beef from Sam's
No soak just rinsed
Habs Rub for 4 days
Smoked with Hickory for 4 hours and cooked until the IT was 165 (I think next time I am going to aim for IT of 155)
9hours total cook time and then 3hrs ftc
I trimmed the fat cap the next day but next time i will trim the fat cap rub the meat then put the fat cap back on the top of the meat when it goes into the ES
