Pastrami Project

[wittdog]

After 5 days of soaking in a delicious smelling brine it’s time to introduce mr. brisket to mr.smoke….and make it into pastrami…I left the brisket out at room temp for about an hour to help with the drying process, I then placed it on the preheated smoker at 150*F and let it stay there for an hour…..after the surface was dry I added some cherry wood and bumped the temp up to 200* I will soon take the temp up to 250* I will be posting the sliced pics in the am....

Just out of the brine


On the smoker along with some bacon wrapped hotdogs (lunch)..and some fatties (tomarrows breakfast)

Wittdog,

I too am looking forward to the pictures of the pastrami.

 

[Wittdogs B]

Well, boys, sorry this is coming so late-- here are pics of the done pastrami. I cut it on the slicer into thin slices and piled them into a pan for the fridge (notice I sliced first, then refrigerated LOL)









My turn to sleep--I guess dave will get some nice fresh rye from the bakery on his way home tomorrow and we will have some reubans for lunch!

Miss the site now that I am back at work; it is blocked at work--go figure--although that is probably a good thing. I can't imagine trying to explain the obsession with food porn!!!!!

 

[Finney]

Boy O' boy, that sure looks good. Where's the rye bread? I'm ready for a sandwich.

 

[DaleP]

Rueben sandwich needed asap! Looks grrrreat!

[Unity]

Oh, man, my mouth's watering again!
