Do you steam it after smoking? It sure looks great.

We have tubs of brisket flats in the cooler soaking in a brine & pickling spice solution. Process can be as little as 5 days soak, but we're doing a 9 day cure. Wash, season and smoke. My rub we use gives a peppery bark. Does it taste like Jewish deli pastrami? Most pastramis don’t have an over powering smoke flavor because of the wood they use to smoke it We smoke these alongside our normal briskets, so it's a smokier taste than regular pastrami. We're not trying to re-create a wheel that isn't broke, just doing a Texas style version of it.

I've used this recipe several times and like it. Also works for corned beef except you boil it 3-4 hrs. with 1 Tbs pickling spice minus cloves in water to cover. No pepper/coriander as in smoking for pastrami.
Brine per 1 lb. meat (leans cuts of brisket, bottom round roast, or thin rump roasts.) Water - 1 pt. Kosher salt - 1/6 cup Pink curing salt - 3/4 tsp. (order online) - Must have this or it will come out gray instead of pink. Pickling Spices - 1/2 Tbs. (remove cloves) Bring above to boil, let cool and refrigerate to cool more. Place meat in large bag (1 or 2 gal.), place meat in bag, refrigerate 5-7 days flipping bag daily.
Cooking Rinse brine off meat and pat dry with paper towel. Coat both sides liberally with coarse black pepper and ground coriander. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to let the meat surface dry out.
Smoke 4-6 hrs. until internal temp. reaches 170 degrees.

That’s really cool, congrats. I don’t get to NTx often but I will find your place next time I do.
