I went down to Paisanos Butcher Shop, and I had them bring out a couple briskets from the back before I selected a large one.

    Bone in pork belly

    I just came back from my local butcher at the Russian market here in Brooklyn. On display they had 'pork belly ribs', they look really good, so my plan was to brine and smoke them like bacon.

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    Question: my brisket is a few inches too big for the smoker tray. Should I cut it to fit? Or put it in as is and expect that it will shrink before it is done?

    Pastrami

    Thanks for the compliments guys, and Al thanks for your post on Pastrami, which I tried to follow. All this talk of sandwiches reminds me of Juniors restaurant, where they serve brisket on potato pancakes (called "something different") or sweet potato pancakes with gravy ("something really...
