This is something that once you have it you'll never eat store bought pastrami again. I pulled min eout the smoke about 2 hours ago and it's every bit as good as everyone has siad it would.

 

[the dude abides]

All right man! Way to go with that pastrami. What did you decided on for a rub?

Can't wait to see the finale.

 

[scarbelly]

Here it is after 4 water changes in 8 hours
All rubbed up with
EVOO
Old Bay
Pickling Spices - slightly ground
Montreal Seasoning
Will start the smoke in the morning before my 200 mile drive to pick up my Dad for Christmas

Wait a minute I thought November was proclaimed pastrami month. Oh well you can always do a dudestrami for sure. So thanks for posting the start but thats a tease so I cann't wait for the final product. and thanks for the Qview.

Great start...I can't wait to get your final impressions and my Internet plate. Love pastrami!

 

[fire it up]

Soooo....you're going to fire it up then make a 200 mile drive, man that is a trip. At least the pastrami will be close to finished by the time you get back.

That is one of the advantages of having an electric - LOL

Looks Great...

 

[scarbelly]

Well Mrs Scarbelly hijacked the camera for a few days during Christmas to take pictures of the 9 grandkids so the qview is a little late.

Turned out great - there will be more in the future
Thanks Jay

[chefrob]

looks great!!!!!!!! one of the things on my list to do.........

 

[the dude abides]

Add me to the list of point givers. Do you remember what the precooked weight was on that? You got a lot of slices out it.

Glad you liked it and glad I could help. Gotta give some credit to oneshot for deeming it the "Dudestrami" though. I'm not nearly that creative.

for a successful first pastrami!

 

[old poi dog]

Can I have some Pastrami at my table please....

 

[scarbelly]

It was about 4.8 lbs - I sliced it with my 15 year old Rival slicer. It is not one you want to use every day but works for small jobs

Thanks to everyone for the points and comments

Congrats on the strami. Looks good, hope it tasted as good as it looks.
