    Cheat Pastrami

    Cheat Pastrami
    a 3# packaged corned brisket from Aldi
    on the OldSmokey for a slow ride to 150°
    classic pastrami is corn the brisket first for 7 days
    then smoke it to make the pastrami
    i just cheat the 7 days of the corning process
    by buying the pre-corned briskets at Sam's, Aldi, and just smoke it like any other brisket.
    but.. wash/soak the corning brine off of the brisket and dry it
    then season/rub it with a no-salt rub before you put it on the pit to smoke. it's already brined.
    most of the recipes say to smoke it to 150°~160°
    then seal it up in a roasting setup with water below the rack and steam it to 190°~200° like a regular brisket
    when the brisket made it to 150° i put the pan & rack, w/ brisket in the roaster for the finish @275° in the oven
    with the water in the pan to finish around 200°
    the recipe calls for the last 50° degrees to be with steam so it finishes moist, not dry

        I'm having a pastrami on rye as we speak. When I do these, I just wrap in foil about 150 and leave on the smoker till 200. Yours looks a little juicier though. My have to try the steamer trick next time. Good stuff.
