Pastrami time and more.

[Eliminator21vdrive]

So I decided to try this and dunked my first brisket into the brine on Monday and will smoke it Sunday I think.

I am following Guy's recipe .

In retrospect I should have bought higher quantities of some spices as I am sure that I will do this again.

Not all but most


Followed instructions and trimmed and separated
.


So I also bought another brisket at the same time to make burger and mixed with chuck 50/50 and a half brisked to cook at a later date.


So eight pounds 50/50.

Then I decided to render down the fat for other needs and this is what I have.
.



So stay tuned for the end product.

I completely separated the point from the flat (because I misunderstood the directions) so it was first piece off and let me say other than being a bit salty it is amazing!
Next time I will just remove the fat band between the two and leave it attached

This gizmo helped a bunch on my in direct wood burner. It is a 4 probe and can set up alarms for temp.

Flavor is awesome but it is a little tough. If you cut it supper thin it is fantastic. I need a better smoker for finicky meat.

looks fantastic. If kina tough consider thin slicing.

Did you use regular pink salt or Prague Powder?
Prague powder #1 contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% sodium chloride
