I know where it goes, It was well lite before I put it in, then its died out. I even opened the vent full didn't help, moved up on the lowest grate and it worked a little while and went out again, twice. <shrugs>

I don't know but..... about the only smoke I got on it in 9+ hours was hickory from the chips.

I even mixed pellets in case the apple would bet hard to get smoking.

I don't know, today Vulcan the God of smoke, did not see fit to shine he grace upon me.
 
I think you are going to be the Louisiana Lord of the Back Bacon! That is going to be some great stuff. Is there a Cajun version of Eggs Benedict?

I promised a picture. I have already lost two half's and baby sister hasn't showed yet. I am learning, had I not halved, I would have only one piece left with Baby Sis coming tomorrow.

First the pictures, This a small piece I decided to experiment with.



This is one of the small pieces I cooked and glazed this evening to test to make sure I was thinking right. (I was I was!)

See after the cure and the smoke to 145, its technically cooked, like a city ham? It was barely pink inside yes tender and juicy but more a sweet "Back Bacon". I was hoping for more red and ham flavored like the ribs the other night. So, what do you do with a city ham to make it taste good? Score it, add cloves, bake it low and slow with honey/apple juice/butter, open it up, add a sweet Satsuma maple glaze (man I would Labrador pooh with this glaze on it!), and cook it on Medium High. Added glaze every 15mins. till it was all happy. Oddly enough I was afraid I would lose tender and juicy but it is tender and juicy.

When I bake the larger one, I'll include pictures of it. You can't see it with the short piece too much but its a really nice presentation with a red color. But what is important is the taste.... I am happy, this recipe going into the file!

I am happy with it. The Satsuma Maple glaze is excellent too!

Thanks for checking it out. I give it 4.5 stars, two weeks eats up .5 stars.

That is a nice glaze! I smoked a few cured loins to 155 and noticed they were still moist and tender.
