I am on the first time pastrami train too. Trying it with the cow I got this year. Just got mine cooling and ready to rock for some reubens over the next few days while we all hang out.

How's it tasting? What did you rub it with? That looks like black pepper and coriander? I used a recipe I found here: https://bowhunting360.com/2017/11/20/venison-charcuterie-is-the-king-of-holiday-appetizers/
I added a few things in my brine, but the rub was black pepper and coriander with a little juniper berries.

Venison Pastrami Recipe - How to Make Venison Pastrami

Venison pastrami you can make at home. This is a classic venison pastrami recipe that can be make with any deer roast, or you can use beef.

I followed this pretty close, but didn't use juniper in the brine. And then I brushed the meat with worcestershire to apply the rub. The rub is just black pepper and coriander coarsely ground.

Oh, also, I don't have curing salt so I just mortons tenderquick and combined his salt percentages. So 2.25% tenderquick based on meat weight.

In honestly shocked at how good it is.

3 different cheeses but I'm struggling to keep the temperature down. Getting pretty soft.

I had the same problem. Tried two different times and ended up looking sloppy but tasting awesome so I just shred it and put it in breakfast scrambles. A nice backup plan that turned out to be.

Finally got it. Outside temperature was about 14 and windy with some snow. Maybe that had something to do with it even though the smoker is in the garage. Detached. Finally got a good smoldering piece going and kept slowly feeding it for smoke.

Been saving the breasts from my spring gobbler for a special occasion. Going over to my parents for Christmas this evening so I pulled these from the freezer last night. Salt, pepper, garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne, cumin, ground mustard, msg rubbed all over; oriented so that they're pretty uniform; trussed and threw on the smoker. Gonna try 250 until we hit 160 internal. Mix of hickory and cherry.
