    First pastrami cure

    Yes you seem to become very popular at the end of the process when it’s ready to eat! Next up back bacon or Canadian bacon as I think you call it that side of the pond

    First pastrami cure

    Took it to around 195 IT, as recommended by chef Jimmyj, next time I will cook it at a slightly lower temp as smoker was running slightly hot. But it’s all a learning process.

    First pastrami cure

    Thanks jimmy I will be trying that in about 7 days, do you think it would make any difference if I cured it for 10 days instead of 7 (instructions said 7)

    First pastrami cure

    This is my first post outside of the roll call so hopefully this is in the right place if not maybe someone can nudge me in the right direction. Just started curing my first beef brisket to make some pastrami, brisket is 2.5kg/5.5 lb and I cheated a little by buying ready made cure/rub. It’s now...
