spicy lunch meats anyone?

I wanted to play a little with my new Nesco meat slicer today but first I needed some meat.
 
 
 
 
I cured a loin and had some corned beef on hand so why not. Defrosted some chicken and tied it up into a loaf shape.
 
Into the fridge for the night last night so the dry rubs could do their magic.

Then on to the smoker at 275-300.

Pulled the ham at 145 deg, chicken at 165 and pastrami at 195.

I let them cool fully in the refrigerator then sliced them up.

I think I could have left the brisket on for a little longer to render a little more fat out, but it is still  fantastic.
 
Pastrami dry rub is here
Chicken dry rub is here
 
That is all I got, who is next?
 
I had a nesco in my cart and ended up going with della for my meat slice. Used it yesterday for the first time. http://www.amazon.com/DELLA%C2%A9-Premium-Electric-Vegetable-Stainless/dp/B018FFF4CU?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
 
It sliced nice, had a few qualms with it though. One is you can't fit a very big piece of meat. Like I doubt I could do a decent ham on it. At least not without slicing the ham in half or modding the slider the meat shelf sits on so I can move it left a few more inches.
