Made Me Some Beef Pastrami

Sweet!  Happy with the results?  Looks good!

Yes, I gave it a 6 hour soak to remove the salt taste. I would go a few hours more next time as the rub itself had plenty of salt added to it so you really need to get to zero salt left behind from the curing process.

Devo, since this thread got resurrected, let me ask you a question. At what point did you soak it to remove the salt? After the smoke? And was the soak just water? Then pat it dry, and into fridge overnight? Thanks.

After you take it out of the brine is when you soak it. And yes soak in cold water and refresh it every couple of hours.

Thank you're much devo. I gotta try it soon.
