An elementary school teacher of mine used to say, "The only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked"...
BTW, here's a pic of the fresh ham I started cooking this AM:
You can see the skin on it that those other two yahoos are going on about.
Here's a shot of it at the 2 hour mark. Just sprayed it with pineapple juice for the first time too. Temp hasn't budged, but I didn't really expect it to.
Big-Fokker - Not using much of anything since this is my first one. Trying to keep this one simple so I'll have something to tweak the...
Well I took up the challenge of doing a Christmas ham in the smoker. However, I had kinda backed down a bit and decided that I was going to do a bone-in, cured ready-to-cook ham (not ready to eat). However, my wife went to Publix this am (grocery store) and brought back a 17 lb fresh ham...
Hey salmonclubber - do you put anything on your hams before putting them in?
bixter1 - I don't think doing it as low as 120 is necessary if you're talking about cooking it - if you want to intentionally dry it out though, then yes. what kind of ham are you starting with and what do you want to...
Touchdown rodneylenton!
Dude that looks EXCELLENT!
I'll be right with you for the ham - I'll be cooking mine Christmas day. Gonna do a raw & uncured one, so it should be interesting. I figure, as long as my thermometer works and I know what the internal temp is, how bad can I really...
I usually soak mine anyway - they tend to not burn up so quick if they're wet. Of course, I use chips in my smoker, not chunks, so it's more of an issue on mine - probably not on yours.
Heh... Richtee said "toss wood"...
I'll probably get in trouble with Jeff for that one...
Wow - first one will have guests too?
Don't worry - pork butts are pretty easy to do and the only way to really screw them up bad (since we're talking pulled pork) is to not bring the internal temp up high enough. Anything over 200 and you should be OK there. You can throw one in the smoker...
Oh man it had to be ducks... I was supposed to be going duck hunting with my buds up around Tallahassee the week after Christmas... but something came up with work and now I can't. Was my ONLY chance to go this season, too. I try to get up there a couple of times during the fall for dove...
Thanks (to glued2it as well) for the link. I saw there were like 6 pages of posts on this and just jumped to the end without reading through it... but then I went back and read through it... and WHEW, man I wish I hadn't! It's gonna take a lotta forgettin' to get that thong imagery out of my...
I *LOVE* fried pickles almost as much as I love fried sweet potatoes and fried cheesecake. Well, then there's also deep fried bacon... and fried twinkies... fried hershey kisses... fried sausage dipped in pancake batter... ooh and of course fried pork rinds... man I'm startin' to sound like...
Definetly don't use poison, unless it's inside a containment trap. I had an issue with them about two years ago. Use snap traps w/PB and put them along their path - along baseboards or anywhere you see their droppings. Plus you gotta get some expansion foam and find out how they're getting in...
BTW, I don't know if anyone talks about the actual composition of the QView pics around here much, but I've got to say that it's really interesting the way you took these pics - all from the same angle, framed the same way. Interesting to see how the meat progressed for you.
NIIIIIIICE!!!
Oh how I love pulled pork!
I usually use just apple juice for the spray though, but I bet that super acidic cider vinegar did a great job on that bark!
