Tim, Montreal smoked meat is similar to pastarmi, but in my opinion, much better! It is just a cured brisket, typically injected. It has all of the fat left on the brisket and is smoked. THere are a few excelent deli's in Montreal that serve sandwiches. The only one I can remember right now is Schwartz's although there are a few. Check out there web site.
No one seems to really know exactly how to make but Shawn has posted his method
here and it is excellent. It started as a wet brine and he has moved to the injection method. I'm sure he'll weigh in with a little more but I highly recomend his methods with this!
