pastromi help!

[tallon713]

Hey all have a corned beef in the smoker, trying for pastromi. Its at 163% IT now, do I foil at 165%  and let it rest or cook it longer? Much thanks.

I took mine off at 160° IT and let it rest for 10 minutes before I was eating it. I sliced mine 1/4'' thick but next time I'll use a slicer to thinly slice it because then it's guaranteed to be melting in your mouth.

I'm making another right now, day 7.

I think others here take theirs off at 145° IT.

Thanks for your help. I pulled it and wrapped it in foil will steam it tomorrow. Hope its good. Thanks again.

Can't wait to see some close up sliced pics.

Here's the link to the one I referring to. It was my first attempt also, and I was blown away. I probably never would have tried it if it weren't for the great people here at SMF.
