To make Pastrami Rub: Grind peppercorns, coriander and mustard seed in spice grinder. Mix with all other ingredients.
Place all pastrami ingredients, except meat, in large enough pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add 2 gallons of ice to brine and cool to 41°F before adding meat.
Place meat in brine and store, covered, for 2 days in refrigerator. After beef has cured, rinse each breast under cold water to remove as mush brine as possible.
Crust breast with good amount of Pastrami Rub. Smoke at low temperature, about 250°F, for about 1 hour. Then finish cooking for additional 1 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
