Pastrami Pastrami Pastrami

Steve, have ballpark proportions on the seasoning you used?

Per Brisket roughly..
1 TBS Freeze Dried Garlic
1 TBS cracked Coriander Seeds
1 TBS cracked white pepper
1 TBS Paprika (cheap stuff just for color)
2 TBS cracked black pepper
about a teaspoon of onion powder just for the heck of it
 
The flash is pretty good on this camera it's pitch black out there. Here is the Pastrami at the 6 hour mak 151 degrees.

That looks awesome Steve! Keep the cooker closed for a bit and finish it off.
 
what temp did you smoke it to? I have been pulling mine off at 185....

Around 175 because it's late and I want it to cool so I can go to bed. Also I plan to steam it for a couple of hours. But what I sampled was very tender and when I probed it the probe slid right in. I did smoke it for 8 hours.
 
Recipe I've found says 165 temp is enough, and If you are going to be preparing it like deli's you steam it after slicing
