Big SB bash today and a buddy and I are going way out of our comfort zone lol.

First up is our first ever pastrami. Brined for a week, rinsed and rubbed with POG, ground mustard and coriander.

On the OKJ for 10.5 hours, to an IT of 190*. Rested and cooled in the fridge, waiting for the slicer.

Double smoked ham, also in the fridge awaiting the slicer.

Next up is two 4.5# pork loins, filetted and stuffed with cream cheese, baby shrimp, crab, spinach and arugula.

Onto the smoker. They actually cooked faster than I thought, 2.5 hours to get to 150*. Getting to room temp, then to the warming box.

There’s a boneless turkey breast in the smoker right now and a turkey loin to go. The plan is to hand slice the pork and turkey and fire up the griddle to make ham and pastrami sammies. It’s supposed to rain until about 7:00 so we’ll have to work around that but hopefully, more pics to come.
 
If that's what it takes to get out of your comfort zone then hats off to you buddy. You're a beast. It all looks and sounds amazing. No smoking here today. 10 inches of snow so far today and 17 degrees. Another 5 or 6 inches to go.

Too freaking cold buddy but it’s raining pretty good here so that’s not helping.
 
That's a whole heap of food for what I think is a Jet's fan. Send me you leftovers - I'll pay shipping.

Let's go Eagles...I hate the pats.

Some sausage, peppers & onions going down. A friend was supposed to do them but busted a water main at the house so he asked if I would them. You done have to ask me twice!

All in All, everything came out well, it was a nice first attempt at some new things.
Pastrami had some really nice flavor but next time I need to use more pepper in the rub and it probably needs to come off the smoker a little earlier.
We had a great day with lots of compliments and full folks. Thanks for looking!
