I worried all day because my smoker was acting up. The meat hit 180 degrees around 6:00pm. It took almost 12 hours to smoke. I cleaned off all the rub because I think I put too much and let it rest for another hour. Just sliced up a nice sandwich on Jewish rye bread, swiss cheese and a horseradish mustard. The sandwich was so delicious and tender.
I am a happy chef right now.
Tomorrow I am going to drop off a couple of sandwiches to my mom and brother and to my black belts who always are there for me.
Tommy's Pastrami look out.
