    second time smoking w/qview and some questions

    for the skin, folks say you can sear it after smoking on a grill or oven, take it to 450-500f for a couple mins. the skin should crisp. i think others have tried brushing butter on it every so often in the smoker. (can't recall where or if this is true.)

    yes, I did pull an all nighter. Not too worried about fire unless the shoulders char up, my backyard is all concrete and if it gets to that point, garden hose is within reach. I had to refuel several times over the night, 1/2 chimney for refuels, used the rest of the bag, approx 17lbs left...

    First time Pastrami w/ qview

    I steamed the pastrami after letting it rest. Following day after in the fridge over night, the left over strami became tough. Is that normal? I was assuming it would still have been tender. I didn't bother re-steaming, I only ate a pinch.
