I noticed your comment after I post reply that the meat was boiled not smoked sorry about that. There is always a homemade pastrami in our refrig so good. (I use tri tip bottom sirlion which was recommend by a profession chef here in Vegas). It seems that for some reason you can only get that cut on the west coast. I buy it in bulk 4-5 tri tips in bag. Makes wonderful pastrami/corn beef and hash too.
Try a double smoked ham injected with brandy, borwn sugar and ground cloves before smoking wonderful too. Smoke for 4-6 hours.
