Easter Ham (lots of pics)

So after a couple good experiences curing beef I decided to try curing ham for Easter. Started off with a 17.5 pound fresh ham front the butcher. I bought this a little over two weeks ago. Plan was to use Pop's brine. I broke out the tools to work on this. A knife and screwdriver.... I don't know the weight without the skin but I'm guessing it was in the 15-16 pound range. Saved the skin to put on the smoker for the flock of weenie dogs we have wandering around. No pics of brining it...
Another prime rib thread.

Picked up a 6 lb. Prime rib from Publix. Easter is always their best price. $6.99/lb. Seasoned with 2 commercial rubs. My family's seasoning inc. prime rib rub and 4 rivers bbq brisket rub. Let it sit out for and hour and a half before throwing it on. 225 on the WSM with oak wood. Put some beef broth in the bottom of the pan. Took it to 132 in about 3 hours. Let it rest for about 45 minutes and sliced her up. Thanks for looking!
Wife is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Made the round trip in and out of Chi-town yesterday, put the wife on a plane to Idaho for 2 weeks. I ain't seen that much traffic since I left the Bay Area. Being home all alone, except for the horses, cats, dogs, parrots and 3 tanks of Koi, I've decided to catch-up on my smoking tomorrow and I'll start with a 9# Butt, 4# pork loin, couple of beer-can chickens, 2 chunks of beef and 7 blocks of assorted chesses. Even warned the fire chief that I'd be using both smokers and the smoke was...
Another Tender Eye Round (SV)

Another Tender Eye Round (SV) At $3 a pound I couldn’t resist, so we got two of them. Other than making Dried Beef & Smoked Lunch Meat, this is the only thing I’ll do with Beef Eye Round, since I got my Sous Vide Supreme. It’s hard to believe how tender & tasty it gets by doing it this way. So all I did was trim the Fat off of the outside, season it, & Vacuum seal it. Then into the SV @ 134° for 21 hours. Then I seared it in a Frying Pan until it looks pretty. Then after having a fine meal...
Jeffs' Cream Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

I make these all the time but some folks need to be reminded about these babies. Here are the simple ingredients. I chopped the jalapenos and mixed up everything but the cream cheese. I made small balls from the cream cheese and formed the other mix into balls with a small indentation for the cream cheese. Rolled the meatball in some rub. Out of the smoker after 2.5 hours at 225* with cherry chips. Money shot of a delicious and easy snack. Thanks for looking ! CM
Prayers for Pops

I just got a phone call from @pops6927 that he has had another stroke and this time it was in his brain steam. I know he has been thru alot already so please pray for him that he is able to recover from this one without much setback in his life. I know Pops will appreciate it.
The final brisket...

... Before we list the house and move! On the pellet grill dark and early: Went to kill some time... About halfway there... (Pup gets the corner cutoff - she kept an eye on the grill while I was gone)
Smoked Beef Chuck Clod

I have been waiting for a chance to try smoking this cut for awhile now. At $3.09 / lb. with almost no waste it seemed a no brainer. Far less waste than a brisket. The one I got weighted about 18 lbs. I injected it with double strength Minor's beef au jus and rubbed it with a mix of salt, pepper, cocoa and coffee. The rub as a result of my local Kroger having a premade espresso salt on clearance for $1 that contained the salt , cocoa and espresso. I cut it in half to cut cook time down...

Inspiration from GMC spring cook

While going through the daily forum post with a cup of coffee in hand, I came across a post from GMC showcasing his talents. He mentioned how he enjoyed getting back outside to cook again. The sudden, two day joke of spring weather was all I needed to fire up the baby smoker. (Thanks, Chris) After the morning reads and kickstart, I had only one thing on my mind, RIBS. So off to the local meat locker. Upon arriving, my favorite butcher informed me the only ribs they had in stock where...
