Picked up a corned beef today and plan on turning it into pastrami. ? is I want to cold smoke it for a few hours with my amnps in my fridge smoker and then take it to 190 in my traeger at 225. Since the corned beef is cured this should be safe right? I need to compensate for the lack of smoke...
I have found that if my smoker sits for a week or so this latch starts to stick in the "in" position. A screwdriver gently prying around the edges seems to free it.

What worked best for me was mixing equal parts of Yoshida with brown sugar, heating that in the microwave to melt the sugar, and brushing on about 3 hours in.
So i did my first snack sticks. Came out pretty good. I don't have a stuffer yet so I used SmokinAl's pepperoni recipe with Bearcarver's (Get well soon!) procedure for unstuffed sticks. (I only had cure #1 on hand so I looked for a recipe that used that as opposed to TQ).
