Put some brisket and pork loin in some cure last Saturday. Well since today is the nicest day of the year so far I will smoke the meat that I was going to smoke anyway. Quite the opposite of my smoke last week.
The Meat. It came from a cow.
Man that things fat.
Nothing a big knife can't handle. About 3 lbs trimmed brisket.
Pumped full of brine

[h3]Rub #1[/h3]
[h3]Rub #2[/h3]
Sunday morning you sure look fine. I got Pastrami on my mind. Time to soak in cold water for about 2 hours to leech out the salt.
Let's make some rub while we wait.
Pat the meat dry and apply the rub.
Now for some Canadian Bacon. Here is a pork loin. It came from a pig. I'm not going to make the same mistake I did last time. I am making over double what I did last time.
Did a dry cure on these. Went in the fridge with the brisket for 7 1/2 days.
1 TBS Morton’s Tender Quick per pound of meat
½ tsp Brown Sugar per pound of meat
½ tsp Onion Powder
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Course Black Pepper
Off to the smoker we go after hittin' the cured loins with garlic powder, onion powder and fresh cracked black pepper.
Smoker's up to temp. Looking pretty even.
We'll be using hickory...
...and pecan today.
Been on the smoke for an hour now.
Just smokin' away.
Come back in few hours for the finish.
Thanks for tuning in.
