First off a HUGE thanks to my NE Ohio neighbor jcam for his Pulled Ham thread. Those pics literally had me drooling so much I just had to move it to the top of my SMJ to-do list and boy am I glad I did. First off, shame on me for not picking up a Sugerdale during Easter. I sure didn't get the 79 cents a lb deal, uhhggg.
Both Shanks and Butts were same price & went for the Butt. Used Jeff's Keto pork and chicken rub recipe and I gotta say it is GREAT. Did his addition of clove and allspice to some for the ham and gave that butt a rubdown. On the Treager at 275 with Cherry pellets and 1 smoke tube filled with cherry chips and pellets. I almost always alternate handfuls of each. Did the diet AW spray and rerun 2 hours in. Sprayed a few more times and my hope was to get it to 165 like his recipe but my Treager pooped out at 150. My half bag of Cherry pellets that have been sitting for a while, since I've been strictly Post Oak blend lately, must have gotten some moisture. First time that has happened to me and I'm just glad it lasted to 150. At that point I placed the rack over a pan of ham base and some diet AW, wrapped it super tight and into the oven at 300 to try and hurry it up a bit. The whole effort took much longer than I anticipated so I took it out of the oven at 202. I was tired, had a few too many rye's and decided to just cover it with blankets and tear into it in the morning. I must say, everything about this is a winner. The rub, the juice, the ham. I had never heard of pulled ham before joining SMF and I agree with those of you who make it that it is a MUST try,. Haven't decided what to do first. Probably just sammys & slaw with my son as we watch the Cavs in a game 7. Just hope while we eat our sammy no-one pulls a hammy. I think this would be awesome with some white beans in a cassoulet too. I have seen both vac with juice and without. Curious as to the difference you all have found between the 2. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics and Thanks Again Jeff!!!!!!!!!!
rerun & spray with diet AW
