5 hours at 225(bumped it up from the 180 degrees I do most of the time), The IT is now at 180 degrees, will cool and put if fridge until supper Friday. I will steam it for about an hour prior to slicing it.
I looked into sending some pastrami to my son in Ct. 15 lbs was like $150 UPS, fast. However using dry ice (ups) or ice packs usps (no dry ice thru mail) is of course cheaper. As far as weight don't forget, container, ice packs, cooler. Still have not decided if it was worth it.
I been doing 180 but before I serve I steam the whole piece in a make shift steamer, I use dark beer, and cut it by hand, l steam 45 min or so, you can tell when it's ready
While to meat is soaking I made up my rub: Black Pepper, Brown Sugar, Coriander ,Garlic, Paprika and Capers. I will make a paste and cover prior to putting in fridge overnight.
When I have guest over for lunch/dinner I give them a choice, Cattleman's, my N.C. or tomato base, let them pick. The ones that don't use mine, I don't invite back.....just kidding.
Bearcarver, I think you mentioned that a while back, I did heed your advice, I soaked it twice as long as they suggested. The bacon came out great. The test was my wife, she kept saying "thats good" "thats good", can't go wrong there.thanks
