WSM pastrami

Looking to smoke a brisket and season, cure and smoke it to make some pastrami.

I love thin sliced, deli style pastrami so I don’t know if I’m getting my hopes too high trying homemade? Anyone try this?

I’ve read several recipes all calling for different cuts of the brisket. Any suggestions which method and cut produce the best result?

Thanks guys!
 
I did Chris' quick pastrami recipe and it turned out great. The key is to soak the corned beef for a couple of days, changing the water a couple of times a day.

You could fool almost any pastrami hound with the result, and apart from the soak, it was relatively quick and easy.

If you have access to good rye bread and decent Swiss cheese, add some slaw and Russian dressing, and you'll get a crack sandwich.
