    Question on storing Pastrami before Finish

    Gotcha, I assumed you just missed the work part and that I was doing this all at home, where I would do what you suggested normally. My only problem with that is I will be cooked 2-3 of these ~4lb corned beefs.  I am not confident in the timing of all three being where I have them all hit their...

    Question on storing Pastrami before Finish

    Thanks for the reply!  Biggest issue with holding in Sous Vide is I would be smoking at home but have to transport it to work, which is a 45 minute drive and not the best to move a container filled with water and sealed meats, while keeping the SV going. :) I think after a ton of reading I will...

    Question on storing Pastrami before Finish

    Thanks for the reply! I have an IPDUO60 (Instant Pot 6 Quart Low/High Pressure Cooker).  I also have an Anova Precision Cooker.  I have been doing some reading and the Anova may be a better approach.  I plan to vacuum seal the pastrami and refrigerate it.  So, what I may do is put the pastrami...

    Question on storing Pastrami before Finish

    Yeah, if I could warm it with the pressure cooker that would be good too.  I haven't learned enough about the pressure cooker to just do the warming without overcooking it or something.

    Question on storing Pastrami before Finish

    I noted in my post that we COULD warm it at work, but it requires everyone running back and forth to a microwave a decent distance from the room.  I liked the idea of having a way of doing the entire thing in one go in the room.

    Question on storing Pastrami before Finish

    Hello! Love the forum, I have learned so much here.  One thing I am having trouble finding an answer to in some old posts is when it comes to having a period between the smoke and the finish on something like pastrami. I want to do the method of smoking the corned beef brisket to 150, and then...

    Brisket Success... then near failure... need some advice!

    Thanks for the replies!  If I remember correctly, it was a busy day, I did put it in the cooler with as many towels and blankets as I could fit, but it dropped to about 150 in the matter of about 2 hours, putting me at 11am, no way it was going to make it to 6PM while staying at a safe temp to...

    Brisket Success... then near failure... need some advice!

    Hello all! I had an MES30 and now have a 22.5 WSM.  My first smoke on it was a cheap-ish rack of ribs to test it out and it went pretty well.  My second smoke was a brisket, which I loved doing on my MES, but could never get a good bark or smoke ring. So I prepared the brisket and put it on...

    Smoked Ribeye Steak w/ Q-View

    Hi all, I started off on an MES 30 and a couple weeks ago got a 22.5 Weber Great Smokey Mountain, which I love.  One of my favorites on my MES was to smoke and reverse sear a steak, and I had some trouble getting temps to the right level on my WSM when I did a brisket about a week ago, I think...

    Smoked my second brisket yesterday

    You have a couple things working against you in my view.  A ~5lb brisket is A LOT tougher to get right than a 10+lb.  There is so much less fat and that to keep it moist, and they, against all sense, seem to take longer than the big guys for some reason.  It doesn't mean you can't be successful...

    Help with deciding on my first smoker.

    I recommend the WSM as well.  I know you said $200, but consider doing an 18.5 inch WSM and getting it from BBQGuys.com.  Then use coupon code: 154250TWB for $15 off $250. That makes the 18.5inch WSM $284, with free shipping and no tax.  When you factor in tax on even your $200 budget, assuming...

    Brisket stall at 140??

    I think the probe was in a bad spot (and still is).  I took the probe I was using for ambient temps and inserted it in a different section of the brisket and it currently reads 161 while the first probe I have been using all day says 143.  Maybe it's in an air pocket or something.  I don't like...

    Brisket stall at 140??

    Hi all! I love this site, I have used it as reference for so much, from picking my MES 30, to the AMNPS, mailbox mod, and of course, how to prepare the food. So far I have smoked steaks, briskets, ribs, candy bacon, etc.  I love smoking more than I ever imagined. Today I hit an issue that has...

    First Smoke Today - Used AMNPS and MES 30

    Lowes was selling the window version MES 30 for 50% off, clearing them out for the new models it seems, so I finally took the dive.  After reading this site I ordered an AMNPS with a variety of 2lb bags through a bundle on Amazon that arrived today.  I also got an angled elbow for the exhaust...
