Hello - I am new to this site, but I do think it is great. I am patiently waiting for my CS to arrive, should be here in 2 days. Anyways, I would like to try a pastrami in my new smoker, anyone have any good recipes that they have tried that turned out great? This past weekend I did try pulled pork (noone here in ND has ever heard of that), but I did it in my gas smoker, and it turned out great. I used recipes that I had found here and WOW, it was fabulous. Used Smokin' Okies mop/baste with the cider vinegar, brown sugar - sure didn't look good, I was very impressed. Thanks. Please let me know about the pastrami recipe? (Is there one on the CS cookbook that is coming with my new smoker?)

Here's somthing I plan on trying, but have not had a chance yet.

Use Hi Mountian Jerky Cracked Pepper & Garlic jerky cure on a brisket. Cure in the fridge for a week to 10 days. Smoke at 225 to internal temp of 160-165.

I think this will work, maybe someone else will have information on whether or not this will work.

Thanks for the compliments, yes maybe it doesn't "sound" good, but it always gets a positive response. A good baste/mop for pulled pork is a good thing.
