Pastrami

[Steppy]

You say you had a lot of trouble with heat control. If you had trouble maintaining temp. I use this on my Weber bullet https://www.bbqguru.com/StoreNav?Cat...1&ProductId=34, BBQ Guru's PartyQ. What a difference!

Nice looking pastrami. I just smoked one for 13 hours . Of course it was 11 degrees out.Did you use Meathead doughnut method? It is a minion method. Gives you long term temp control. Keep smoking!

I keep meaning to try that, and I'll do it next time. Thanks for the reminder!

yep! I feel ya bro, but, even though growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

That's my sig! Been using it for at least 20 years. It pretty much sums up my attitude.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

I use about 4-5 depending on size.

How did your pastrami turn out?

Great! Thanks for asking!

My juniper tree has about 10 million berries on it. I picked a quarter cup. Going to look up how to treat them. I have a corned beef in the freezer. I'll try it with the berries.

How did that work out? I have several juniper trees in my yard.

sorry this took me so long to answer. Juniper berries are used as a diuretic. Odd it doesn't say that on my gin bottle.Decided not to use it on my corned beef. There is enough going on with a pastrami sandwich with the cheese,cole slaw,onions.
