Smoked Prime Rib and Double Smoked Ham

I will be using Bearcarver’s Recipe and method from his “Step by Step”

Christmas Eve – Start getting everything ready

Charcoal in Smoker, Propane Tank & Weed Burner Ready

Rub down and season Prime Rib, wrapped and back in the fridge.

Christmas Day:      Outside Temp 27°

5:30 – Make Coffee

5:45 – Fire up weed burner, lite charcoal and warm up smoker.

             There was a thread on refillable grill and smoker starters

                “ Mine is refillable”  Texas Size

6:00 – Start trimming Ham and preparing for smoker

6:30 – Smoker about 200 ° Put ham on (Note) I had planned on doing just as        

             Bear had suggested with putting the fat in a pan above the ham, I didn’t

             have enough head room and had to pull my top rack. Since I had

             already trimmed my ham, I took several of the bigger, fattier pieces

             and laid them back on the ham, using toothpicks to keep them in place.

7:00 – Temp steady at 225 °

7:30 – Put on the Prime Rib

8:00 – Added another split and some charcoal. (Note) I put my charcoal in my

             chimney, sit it on my side burner and start it that way, Quick, Fast and

             in a hurry.

8:30 – Checked internal temps, Prime Rib 61°, Ham 89° Smoker at 210°

9:30 -  Checked internal temps, Prime Rib 77°, Ham 95° Smoker at 225°

             Added a little more charcoal. Sunny, warming up outside temp. 44°

10:45 – Internal temps Prime Rib 110°, Ham 106°

11:15 – Internal temps Prime Rib 119° Ham 118°

12:20 – Internal temps Prime Rib 132° Ham 122°  pulled PR and wrapped in

               foil.  Waiting on Ham

1:00 – Internal temp Ham 135° Put on Glaze (Bear’s Recipe) Opened up

             damper to raise the temp, about 270°

1:20 – Hit 140° finally, everybody was starving, eating as fast as I could cut

             it up.   But !!!!  Well worth the wait

Used hickory and pecan splits along with charcoal

Picked these up the other day


$6.99 a Lb.

FANTASTIC double smoked ham


Rib bones foe Gary ( Did not offer to share)


#1 son cut a piece, eat a piece


Oh yeah, had some left over pulled pork my wife did in the slow cooker, had to smoke

it for latter on.


This was out a doubt the best prime rib I ever had, #1 son said he eats PR all the time and it was the best he ever had.

When #2 son showed up he couldn't stop eating it.

Thanks Bear for the wonderful "Step by Step" on both,  Fantastic !!!

Thank you for looking and Merry Christmas

Thanks Bear, I'll have to say I am pretty critical of my own smokes but the flavor on that PR was far better that just a regular PR. And the Double smoked ham just really kicked it up a notch.

Normally when we get one of "those type smoked hams" and warm it in the oven you really don't get a smoke flavor at all. This one was great. As for the toothpicks, I didn't even think about head room, until I was trimming the ham, thought hmm ! went out and checked, not enough so I pulled the top rack, Then thought how am I going to get these chunks of fat to stay on ? Toothpicks !

Anyway everybody loved it all big success

Looks like you and your gang had a nice feast.  I do my hams similar, but being a little lazy, I usually pick up the spiral cut ones.  Thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks I like Spiral Cut too

Gary
 
Give it a try, it;s easy and great

Thank you, Wife's brussel sprouts, First steamed till tender, then sauteed in a little bacon grease and butter, with a couple of slices of lemon, then sprinkle crumbled bacon on sprouts salt and pepper to taste.

I'll remember the cheese, sounds even better
