This is a live smoke.

All help and suggestions welcome.

I got a rub recipe from SmokinHusker   http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/143357/easy-corned-beef-flat-pastrami

Here it is rubbed down ready for the smoker.

I soaked in water for two days and rubbed in the fridge for 5 days.

it looks like good thin blue goodness... the good thing about the UDS.. if you see white smoke... its steam.. just cause you through a full load of meat on.. but, so far the cooks Ive seen you cook... your not loading it up ... smoke on sir!
