    Brisket Noob

    The most important step is making sure the brisket hits 140 IT in 4 hrs. This is the make sure you get the meat to 140 as fast as possible to not have bacteria start to develop. I smoke my brisket between 225 to 250. I have had a 15 lb brisket finish in 10 hours and a 10 lb brisket take as long...

    Pastrami newbie.. Cold or hot smoke.

    So honestly I have never cold smoked one. I personally hot smoke, 225-275 f, until an IT of 190-195 or probe tender. I also like to steam it the next day after it cools and I find it gives me a better pastrami texture. I bet you could cold smoke it and then finish in oven though. Let us know how...

    Why is my pastrami not getting good cure penetration??

    I tend to vacuum sealer mine to ensure it stays in the brine. If you have big enough bags you can do that as well. I have also used 2 gallon zip lock bags as well. You get as much air out as you can before closing to ensure the meat stays submerged/covered in the cure/brine.
