I haven’t been on in a while, but I just got a new Masterbuilt smoker and decided to take a chance on Pastrami. I wasn’t sure how good it would work, but the smoker did a great job. Started with an already corned beef and used Meathead's recipe for the coating. Smoked it for about 5 hours then steamed it for almost three until the internal temp came up to 203°. Meathead was right in that this would give Katz's a run for the money. In fact, it made the best Pastrami Reubens we’ve ever eaten, and we used to live in NYC.

Nice work! I just made some last week and I'm still eating it. Congrats on the new smoker.Comment

Thanks! To tell you the truth, it works better than when I was doing the smoking in the Weber Kettle. The smoke is much sweeter. In fact I was adding MB's leg kit to the bottom and opened up the smoker to remove the grates and the smell in the box was just super sweet smoke. And I hadn’t used it in almost a week. The Weber always had a bitter note to the smoke. -
NortheastAl Using the same wood? There's a lot going on with the different sources of combustion between the two cookers. The important thing is that you like what you make!

Nice job, NortheastAl . Every time I make Meathead's pastrami it's gobbled up by my family in a New York minute. I know you know how fast that is! Good plan to make more. It's one of Meathead's best recipes ever.

Have done this with store bought and homemade corned beef. It disappears way too fast. Have to find a way to scale up and make more each time.Comment

Huskee To answer your question about the wood, I used pecan and hickory chips. On the Weber I used chunks. That could be the difference. It could also be the addition of charcoal smoke that changes the flavor profile.Comment
