Looks good so far Harold! The brats are making my tubby rumble!

Voila' and Presto !!............the brisket has turned into (at 190*) a beautiful Pastrami ! I am going to follow Debi's directions and foil it , refrigerate it overnight and slice it cold tomorrow. That is if I can avoid the temptation of tasting it now............must exxxeerrcise self controlllll

Also pleeze check out that thin blue smoke !
PS.......Thanks to all who gave much needed advice...............!!

Harold -

Don't taste it now - it tastes weird at first. Let it chill and after it firms up slice it thin and fry it up - it'll knock your socks off! I can't keep it in the house!


Looks great Harold! I finally scored another brisket, they are getting harder to find and fattier than usual. I'll be smoking a pastrami next weekend.

Monday A.M............I could'nt stand it any longer. I sliced off a nice piece and it was fabulous ! Probably most of my briskets will end up as Pastrami.........I will make the next one from scratch. You know, corning the beef etc etc......

You did a wonderful job with the pastrami and brats Harold!

Sure looks tasty! Now...What time did you say dinner was?

Oh well...Maybe you could just PM me a sammich or sumpthin'.....

Ahhh!...If we only had "Scratch 'n Sniff Q-View".......

Harold -

I have the same problem. Ever since my first pastrami 9 out of 10 briskets become pastrami! And I still can't keep it in the house! Better start buying your spices in bulk!
