Christmas dinner ideas?

[light-it-up]

Hey gang-

Looking to do something special this year...maybe prime rib in the smoker, but what else? What are some of the more interesting ideas you guys have for the holidays?

I always wanted to but have not done a crown roast of pork.  Depending on the size of the crowd a 20 lb suckling pig is a show stopper.  I fit one in my UDS.  Looked and tasted great.  Heres the thread.

Smoked Goose is another unique idea.  I like the suckling pig notion too.  So many meats, so little smoking time!!

For Christmas I usually do prime rib & goose.

Well... I always do a prime rib as I will again this year, but thinking of adding a ham also. 

If you smoke it.....they will eat.

Once you go prime rib you'll never go back. Their some of the best meat I have ever eatin out of the smoker. Now there's a bunch of different meats that you can smoke. I have gone with Goat, Duck, Goose, and alot of venison. The coice is yours and the world is at you beckin call.

Anyone have a good prime rib method for the smoker?

Rub or no rub?

Do a search for Bearcarvers prime rib. While I have not used his recipe yet, it gets rave reviews, but dont tell him or his head will swell up

Found it, thanks!

 

[scarbelly]

Just dont tell him you like it - he is a grumpy old Bear and I am on his private email list

 

Found it, thanks!

Christmas Eve Prime Rib, planning to smoke it, Cioppino. Christmas day, any prime rib left ?, Salmon, big Costco fillet, smoked or grilled; Braciole, Italian stuffed flank steak, braised in tomatoes, garlic and dash of wine, that's it - makes its own amazing sauce.    always Scotch Eggs for Christmas morning. great with beer!

Portion wise, do you figure a pound per person, before cooking?

Lots of great suggestions here. How about a nice pork loin rack roast maybe even a whole ham with a nice sweet potato or yam dish? It's hard to beat prime rib though.
