7lb, bone in butt portion, already cooked, ready to eat, no water added, blah blah blah...

Smoker ran at 250 for 2 hours. Ham temp was 120 internal...used hickory.

I modified it a bit and based w/ apple juice as I sprinkled the glaze mix over the ham.

Then I let 'er rip with the torch!!!

All I can say is WOW!!! The wife couldn't believe that I had just made a $10 ham taste just like a $45 one!

Awesome Chris. Just Awesome.
 
Chris -
I second the AWESOME!

After getting impatient with the white sugar falling off the ham, though, I substituted light brown sugar which stayed in place better when I patted it onto the ham and didn't seem to take as long to melt as the white sugar. I only had to make one application of the brown sugar. I was very pleased with the flavor.

My torch is a Sure-Fire T-110, which I've had for several years. It has a diffuser attachment that clips onto the nozzle, spreading the flame and giving a wider coverage. It's fan-shaped with about a 45-degree spreader.

It's been 3 or 4 months since I've been able to smoke anything and I felt a bit rusty, but it all went off without a hitch, thanks to your excellent and detailed instructions.

There you are, Rita! I've been thinking of e-mailing you to see if you're okay. Good to see you back here. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Hi Rita,
I was also thinking of you the other day, and wondering why we hadn't heard from you in so long. It's great to see you here again. Welcome back!

Chris,

I used a plain jane bernz-o-matic tall propane cylinder w/ a regular torch nozzle. It puts out about a 6" flame with a 3" cone. Cheap. Most hardware stores will have 'em.

Like I said, I basted w/ apple juice right before applying the sugar mix and it stuck right to it.

I did about 5 applications.

I also used regular sugar, not the ultra fine and didn't notice anything out of the norm.

I also did cut the sugar in half, but used the regular amounts of the other spices. I think a full cup of sugar would have been overkill.

AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!!
 
Thanks Kelly and Ronnie. It's really good to be back - I've missed everyone. I'm sending a collective hug =-O-= /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif !

I have another question, but it should probably be on a separate thread.
See you later!
Rita
