All Pastrami is is smoked corned beef. Take a corned beef brisket and rub some coarsely ground pepper and coriander on it, sprinkle with paprika and smoke for 2 hours at 130F then raise temp to 220F and continue to smoke till internal temp hits 165-175F

Kielbasa is done! Pulled it from the smoker when the internal temp hit 130F then they went into a hot water bath till internal temp reached 160F. Now they are hanging in the kitchen blooming.

Looks good. I always buy some extra corned beef while on sale at this time of year for pastrami. and corned beef hash

 

Before I had a smoker I used to make it in the oven.
