Bought some corned beef already seasoned in a bag. Soaked in water overnight. Put it on my SmokeFire, at 225. At 4 hours was at 123. Turned her up to 300, and an hour later was at 140. Wrapped them in foil, turned up to 375. Another hour or so was at 200. Shut her down. Let the meat rest bout half hour. Prepped the bread, onions and mushrooms. Grilled cheese, hot pastrami, with onions and mushrooms. Turned out outstanding.

@bbqking01
Nice pastrami cook on your SF.
Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy reading your cooking post!
Generally after St Patrick's day corned beef will be on clearance at the local market. I'll pick up 5-6 packages to make pastrami.
Discard the seasoning packet, rinse meat with cold water. Soak corned beef for 24-36 hours in cold water, changing water every 3-5 hours. Meat must be kept in refrigerator.
After meat has soaked and has removed most of the corned flavor. It's time to rinse, pat dry, add seasoning rub and let rest in the refrigerator on a wire rack.
For seasoning rub I use fresh cracked black pepper and whole coriander seeds toasted and ground. Put a thick layer of rub on each chunk of meat. Let rubbed meat rest in refrigerator for 12-18 hours before smoking.
Smoke meat until probe tender. Let meat rest for 30-45 minutes and enjoy.
I rarely eat pastrami the day it's smoked. I prefer to slice it cold and vac seal in 10-12 ounce packages for later use. To reheat drop vac packaged meat into a pot simmering water.
Remove from water bath and enjoy a hot pastrami sandwich.
This is the method I use to make pastrami, whether it's right or wrong it makes a good sandwich.
I have also cured brisket with #1 pink salt and spices for pastrami.

Wow! That looks amazing. I really like pastrami. I think my method could use some work. The flavor was right. My kids went gonzo, they loved it. Your method looks so correct
