Pastrami !!!

[meatallica]

Got a 23 lb corned beef Packer at RD. Soaked it overnight to desalinate it. Cut into 4 pcs to fit in the MES. Simple rub of coarse black pepper and ground coriander. Warming up the mes right now to 225°. With the temperatures here in Delmarva, I'm looking at being done late tonight (fingers crossed).
In the meantime... I got a couple shirts made up for when I'm out in my yard Q-ing. The shirts are Pedro approved. Lol
Got one for Pedro, for my dad and stepmom, and sending one to my brother in Annapolis today.

good luck, is the animal upside down? if so is it supposed to be?

 

[meatallica]

Yeah, FB it's a dead possum. It's supposed to be feet up
