Great article as usual but have one question that I probably already know the answer to. Can the Tenderquick be substatuted by Prague powder? I have both #1 & #2 but tenderquick is nowhere to be found around here and dont feel like ordering it.

Tried smoking the other half of a brisket I corned and I gotta be honest it was the worst thing Ive ever put on my smoker. I would love to know what the sodium content of this meat was...so much salt my mouth burned. The half my wife boiled for dinner was delicious, mine was terrible.

I was concerned, as you with how salty I thought the last pastrami I made was going to be, so I made a quick, on-the-fly mod to the process: I added a cup+ of water about an hour into the curing, the pastrami is the best I've ever tasted.
