Decided to do a couple corned beef pastramis for a family dinner tomorrow night. Figured I'd smoke it tonight and slice it tomorrow and fix up some toasted rye sammies with provolone and sauerkraut. Or anyway they may want.

Here's a pic of one of the pastramis rubbed and waiting on the smoker...

Off to a good start. Did you soak the corned beef to get the salt out of it first? Or is it a plain brisket? What's in the rub?

I did a fry test and really wasn't horribly salty, so I skipped the soaking to get started sooner. I figured with some sauted sauerkraut, provolone cheese on toasted rye, the little bit of salt wouldn't hurt.

The rub is brown sugar, coarse ground coriander/whole peppercorns/garlic/paprika and mustard seed.

Got it smoking on the Longhorn using apple and a little hickory wood....
