Fauxstrami and ribs

Post by **Pete Mazz** » March 24th, 2017, 3:58 am

Another early spring bonus day up here! Supposed to be 70 degrees Saturday. St. Patrick's Day is over but marked down corned beef briskets are still around. I picked up 2 flats for fauxstrami and have them soaking. Decided they'd look so lonely in the smoker so I went to Costco and picked up a pack of ribs. We have a gathering to go to at 3:00 but that'll give me plenty of time to smoke these up.

Sounds like a bonus there Pete... of course Q-view will make it all the more believable

I have seen this mentioned somewhere before. Never heard it called fauxstrami though haha! Do you soak them in just straight water to get the saltiness out? How long do they soak for? I wanna see some pictures...

You've captured my interest Pete.

Looking forward to the Q-View .

I just smoked 3 flats today. I rinse them really good and coat them heavily with spg. Amazing.

I soak them at least overnight in water to get some of the salt out.

Took a little trip to a great Polish deli in a farmers market and got some fresh kielbasa to smoke as well.

I'll take some pics so I don't get in trouble with the boss...

Thanks!!

I'll get the pastrami sliced today at my local pub. Haven't tried it yet. Ribs were good. I froze the kielbasa for another day.

In case you guys don't know that Pete can cook and he made an amazing cabinet for his garage that makes prep and eating a easy choice. Good work Pete
