My name is Jonathon, married, 16 month old son, I'm a firefighter/paramedic for a paid dept in the FL panhandle. I like to fish offshore, hunt, scuba dive, & most everything else that you can do outside. I grew up around grilling/smoking & have been grilling like crazy since I was a teen. I just got my first smoker for christmas & can't wait to break it in. It's a Char-Griller Smokin' Pro. I plan on curing it tomorrow & going to break it in New Years Eve with some ribs & a deer ham.

Hello Jonathon. Nice to have you here. I also have a Chargriller with the side box. Got it last year for Christmas I have been using it alot ever since. I did my first Deer Ham on Christmas Eve. I posted pictures and how I did it. If you cant find the posts let me know, Ill send them to you. I have to say it turned out way better than I expected, really didnt want anyone else to eat it.

You will enjoy this site and it will become addicting asd it has for me. Lot of good friendly people here eager to help you out and give advice.

Good luck with that ham.

Cook1536, I saw your thread on the deer ham....looks good! How much did it weigh, what temp did you smoke at? How long did it take?

From what I've seen this place has a ton of great info!

Jon

My ham weighed 9 pounds and put it on at 7:00am and took it off about 3:00 that afternoon. I cooked around 225 degrees.
