We did some shopping around and I got to say, a lot of smokers have bad designs. They are either too narrow to fit much in the way of meat or they allow too much air in the bottom for a good fire or they are as big as the grill itself.

Still… homemade smoked salmon….

So, we decided to try turning corned beef into pastrami, and it worked great. We picked up an extra corned beef from the store, rubbed with with some spices, and then smoked it in our smoker. [...]
