Thanks, Kent.
I have been soaking the corned beef since this morning with a change of
water.
I did make a note of the rub. Sounds good to me. I have pepper and
corriander and an electric coffee/spice grinder grinder.
I don't have a WSM, just a Brinkman Gourmet, so I'll be using the
smoking instructions I found somewhere else and smoking to 150° with a
wrapped rest then a steaming in the pressure cooker.
Tomorrow is the day. DH wants me to bake a rye bread to go with it.
Don't think that will happen.
I'll report back on the success of the pastrami..
