Store bought corn beef: Pastrami.

After soaking , to less the salt Spice it up ?
Dried off and rinsed before
Can it be in the fridge , after spicing ?
As a dry brine spicing ?

Cooking: Can it be done in the oven?
Convection ? Have both baking and roasting modes ?
What Temp?
Thinking of doing a hotel pan with apple juice over a rack ?
never did a pastrami before !?

Nasty weather here on the NJ coast , rain when it feels like it ?
 
For a corned beef to become Pastrami it has to be smoked... If it's done in the oven or a convection it will just be corned beef...

But a YES to all the other questions...

Do you have a Sous Vide machine? I do mine (vac-sealed) at 152F for around 17 hours.
It may not be smoked but it's tender and tastes like Pastrami....
