    Christmas Ham ~ 2009

    This was the 3rd ham I've cured and smoked, as well as the largest, and I have to say, this is, by far, the best one yet, even though the glaze was AWFUL !! If you haven't tried this, you should consider it. Just do a little homework and ask some questions This ham was extremely moist, had a...

    Whatcha Smokin' fer Christmas?

    We have an 18.57 lb whole fresh ham that I cured using Dizzy Pig's Cured Ham recipe but used WRO and upped the garlic to 6 cloves. Ham was skinned, bringing it down to the 17 lb range, and injected on the 15th with approx 6 cups of cure/brine vs. 4 cups .. Hopefully, the extra injection will...

    Christmas Eve Ham ~ 2008

    I've been following Michael Ruhlman's recipe for American-Style Brown-Sugar-Glazed Holiday Ham pretty closely with just a few changes. I injected this 8.5 lb ham vs. just brine/cure and I added some salt & pepper to the ham prior to smoking. Everything else is going as written. Here's a link...

    Christmas Ham ~ 2008

    I bought an 8.5 lb fresh ham (cryo/frozen) from Redlinski Meats today. Wanted a whole but all they had left (2+ weeks before Christmas) were these. No butt end and shank less as well. No problem. It is bone in but it's tied in 2 places which is confusing. I’ve done a little research on...

    Forgive Me Father For I Have Sinned..

    I bought a 10" meat slicer through the SausageMaker today. Got a damn good deal on it too! BUTT, it's made in CHINA!! It's not a Hobart and doesn't have the quality either but it's pretty nice and beats the hell out of my Waring Pro, which is now for sale! Can y'all forgive me? (has anyone...

    Gas Lines Do Rot

Please check your gas lines to make sure they're in good condition! I just checked my close to 15 year old Genesis and it's good to go but, you never know. I'm...

    Are You A Leg (Wo)Man Or A .. Umm ..

    LOL Well, I'm a leg man ~ Always have been and that's turned out to be a plus for me since pretty much everyone else in my family loves white meat. More for me! Anywho, I had 11 chicken legs left over from a cook earlier in the week that I had to do something with soooooo ... I'm breaking in...

    Canadian Bacon in the Works

    Was gonna do this yesterday but the ice storm had me afraid of power loss during the day. 2" of sleet and freezing rain covered by an inch of wet snow at the end last night. 32º now with 10-15 mph winds from the West today ~ Good day for outdoor cookin'. Bill

    Cold Wind vs WSM

    Well, I always thought that the “wind vs WSM” discussions were due to the wind sucking the heat out of the WSM through the open vents. I started 2-9 lb butts yesterday after noon at just before 4 pm with temps in the mid 30’s and variable winds under 5 mph. I knew the temps were going to drop...

    BBQ Beans ~ Smoked

    This is my favorite BBQ Beans recipe I’ve found to date. Keri's Hog-Apple Baked Beans are a close 2nd though. :cool: I like using Bush Baked Beans with the bacon option, and I smoke using sugar maple for 90 minutes at 250º. I always make a double batch and fold into one half pan afterward. I...
