Was watching Al's pastrami so i decided to get mine from the soak water after 1 day.

Getting prepped for the rub down. I used a different rub than Al used.

All over rub.

Wrapped tight for a day or so in da cooola

Dont know which smoker going to use yet.

Got the pastrami unwrapped and out of the fridge.

On a frogmat and rack ready for the smoke.

Did a burn off and season of my smoker a couple weeks ago. Now time for it to work.

Using hickory pellets.

My own personal opinion would be it will dry it out. I have found that putting the fat above it on another rack keeps it moist.

I will be very interested to see how it turns out.

I was going to wait until tomorrow to slice it but i cant stand the peer pressure...HA

Unwrapped from the plastic. Ready to slice thin.

MMMMMM

3 Vac bags. I had to put paper towel in front of the pastrami because the vac was pulling the liquid up and not sealing good.

For my sammy, my wife ate half the pile....Going to ...oh never mind...LOL

Snack time.
