I took a page out of Bearcarver’s book and decided for our Boy Scout Christmas Party I would double smoke a ham as my contribution to our Christmas potluck dinner. I should first note that I am usually one of the guys that does ALMOST all of the cooking for the adults on our trips (the Boys do their own, we are a Boy Lead Troop and they have been taught well) and I'm always asked "what are you cooking up this time?" They know we eat good and my love for trying things...... That being said we've planned this party 2 months in advance and as the time drew near we realized we had more people coming than main dishes of meat..... SO I took that as an opportunity to Double Smoke a Ham for the Troop. I did 2 of them, one for the house (10 lbs) and one for the Troop (13.5 lbs) bone in hams. The only addition I made to Bear's recipe was that I added a little pineapple juice to the glaze and with 1.5 hrs left in the smoke I added pineapple rings with toothpicks to the hams.....All I can say is WoW!!!!!
I must tell you, if you have NOT tried the Double Smoked Ham that Bearcarver put out there, you have NO IDEA what you are missing! I had SO MANY people when they walked in the Church Hall say "It smells like something was smoked!" or I heard "What did you cook for the dinner?" When I told them I tried something different many said "Oh I have no doubt it will be good, I haven't had anything you cooked that wasn't!” Man they didn’t have a clue what they were in for!
I would say it went very well... We had close to 65 people come, 1 smoked ham, 1 baked ham and 1 turkey and I brought home less than 1/2 lb of scraps and I mean scraps... But those will be used for my scrambled eggs!!!!
Shout out to Bearcarver for his awesome recipe and tutorial..............
Enjoy the pictures and Merry Christmas......
