Love Pastrami and Ruben Sandwiches so I purchased this 12.72 lbs. Corn Beef Brisket.

Thing was massive so I had to cut it in half to fit in the stock pot. Soaked it overnight, changing the water out every 2 to 3 hours.

The next day I patted them dry and sprinkled on some Pastrami rub.

On to the Kamado at 250 degrees and some Mesquite chunks.






When they reached 160 I double wrapped them in foil and then took them up to 190.

When they reach 190 I placed them in an ice chest and covered them with a towel. After 3 hours I removed the foil and put them back on the Kamado at 375 for 40 minutes to set the bark.

And here they are ready to slice.





And now I assemble the Rubens.




And plated.






Love a good Ruben sandwich and this one was excellent. :icon_smile_tongue:
 
^^^ me too!
I haven't had a good Reuben in so long I can't remember.
That looks really good
 
That looks great. Thanks for sharing the process with us.

What are you using for Pastrami rub if I can ask?
Thanks. I mixed up a rub similar to John Setzler’s.

3 tbsp. of fresh course ground black pepper
2 tbsp. of ground coriander seed

2 tbsp. of brown sugar
1 tbsp. of granulated onion
1 tbsp. of granulated garlic
1 tbsp. of smoked paprika
½ tsp. of powdered chipotle pepper
½ tsp. of powdered mustard
