I was with you about perhaps getting chewy. But after removing them texturally they seemed much the same. Will smoke sometime tomorrow. Chill and slice Sunday. Made some mustard couple days ago as a condiment. Mustard seeds, powder, beer and vinegar. It will clear your sinuses.

No. Just yellow mustard seed, mustard powder, white vinegar 5% and beer.

This is the basic recipe, I do about 1/2 again the mustard powder. Also substituted beer for water/white wine. I’d stay with the recipe and just add as much horseradish as wanted.

Thanks, I was gonna try something like this tomorrow.

Horseradish Dijon Sauce

1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil

Running late, one of those “life got in the way days”. Got the chimney burning will hit the smoke sauna shortly. Stayed with the pastrami theme, dusted with a combo of black pepper and coriander. 225* till 140* internal temperature.

And 2/3 a can of Spam. Will get a chipotle and agave glaze.

I know now why I cook my big cuts hot & fast. Got these down 17:45 or so. Finally got them to temp 5 hours later. I did have a fire management issue for nearly an hour, mid cook.
You might notice a little shrinkage and they may look like giant pecans. We’ll see tomorrow.

The chipotle agave glaze worked out well. See how it works with Spam.

Sunday gathering canceled due to a family issue.
However my daughter SIL and grandkids will be by after church.
To the point. Texture was what would be expected. Didn’t really take the brine. They were a little salty, definitely smokey just now a lot of pastrami taste. Will definitely try again with a much longer brine. Will get pics when plated.

Told the grandkids what the mountain oysters were. None looked very interested. Then the oldest started pickin and eating. Asked her if she had forgotten what they were. She replied “yes. And I can tell by the look in your eyes I don’t want to know. They are good”.
