Perfect Northeast spring day.
Been longing to fire up the smoker again!



Pastrami sandwiches for dinner!
And Pastrami and eggs for breakfast!

Rubbed with the spices last night, pulled out of the fridge about an hour ago.
Should go on around noon, and come off anywhere from 4-6.
More pics to follow!

Also, I still haven't figured out a way to incorporate fresh garlic into my rub without the spice sticking and making huge garlic/spice clumps, any tips?

btw, the meat is in no way as black as the ends and crispies look. Shooting indoors at night under my
kitchen light without a flash takes purple and turns it black. I always say that just to make sure people
don't think I let my meat loaf. I bees payin attention. There might actually BE some black, but it ain't
burnt, haha.

I am guessing you could wait til it's on the grill and FLING it at the meat off of a plastic fork or something.
You mean that prepared minced stuff in oil, or just hand sliced or chunked or whatever?

Fresh hand sliced, just seems to clump up on me.
I was thinking about it and I might try cutting it a day or so in advance and letting it sit in the fridge.

Got a Boston butt and a rack of beef ribs on the smoker right now. Never made an actual rack of beef ribs before. Must've trimmed a quarter pound of fat off the bottom side. Is that common occurrence with beef ribs?

Good looking pics Brad and Steve. I hope Dom gets one up of the pastrami. Not much better than really good homemade pastrami.

Halfway



Coming off



On the board



I didn't get the dark bark I'm accustomed to, though that seems par for the course with the Traeger.
This was also the first time I did Pastrami with the point end of the brisket, I usually use the flat.
Slicing the point was a chore, and actually getting slices was tough.

It's easy, just use a mini-food processor and add a bit of oil (or prepared mustard). It turns your rub into a paste and you just slather it on with your hands or a basting brush.

Word of advice, make more than you think you are going to use, because it goes down thick, you'll end up using more.

I do this all the time with fresh garlic, fresh rosemary, thai chilies, cumin, black pepper, salt and olive oil for coating lamb. It makes a killer bark.

You wont get any complaints from this end Dom. Just need a couple of slices of sourdough bread and I'm ready to rock and roll

What can I say? We're a bunch of carnivores Managed to get a shot in of the tri tips. The finish is spicy and a lingering finish following a bite of this meat

My girlfriend really likes jalapeņo poppers so I made a fatty stuffed with pre-grilled jalapenos, cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Used a pound of Jimmy Dean sausage and wrapped it all in bacon. It. Was. Awesome.
