What are you smoking for Christmas supper?

[xray]

Shrimp, not sure how yet, Potato /American Cheese, Cabbage /Onion, and Prune Pierogi, on Christmas Eve.

4 types of Kielbasa, including White and Double Smoked Wedding Kielbasa, Pork Rib Tips simmered in Sauerkraut and Potato Kluski aka Dumplings sautéed with Bacon, for Christmas Day...
See if you can Guess what Heritage my Wife and I claim as our own?...JJ

Sounds like my traditional Christmas Eve spread, right on down to the prune pierogis. We have farmer cheese too. We also do halupki, fried fish with stewed tomatoes, mushrooms....and of course babalki/bobalki.

Some fine eating there, JJ. Reminds me of the meals I used to enjoy while visiting some "immigrant" friends out on their farm in the Edmonton area.
However, you can always tell when a man is getting long in the tooth--he starts adding prunes to the menu. LOL.

Just picked up some Cuban lobster tails and ribeye steaks for Christmas. Asked for the largest they had, boy I sure got large. Each one is 2.75 lbs.

My task is double smoked ham with bourbon maple glaze. While sipping a couple Rolling Rocks.
Wife and brothers girlfriend handle the rest.

Well, so far it’s a home made ham smoked with apple wood in the shack

Then on top I’m going to sous vide a prime rib. To go with that we will make our crab infused twice bake loaded taders (surf and turf) along with some asparagus sautéed in butter lemon sauce. Pumpkin pie and ice cream for the landing. I’m pumped!

Probably not smoking for Christmas. Just me and my wife this year. Zooming with kids. I might smoke-grill some chicken thighs for my wife's Christmas day tradition. Christmas Eve is mine with fish, but she's not much of a fish eater, so I'm planning on a shrimp and scallops creamy pasta dish I know she'll like.

New Years' is mine, though, but it looks like bacon, ham, and blackeyed peas. No smoke.

Christmas a Spiral Sliced Smithfield Ham. The Mrs. gets from her work for the last 15 years, it's become a tradition. Usual sides mashed taters, green beans, candied yams.
Christmas Eve we started having all finger foods a few years ago. Try to do different things than the year before. Since it's just the 2 of us this year maybe small portions of 7-8 different dishes. It's 3 days away, and we haven't planned our Christmas Eve menu yet, lol.

Same as Thanksgiving, 20lb turkey on either the Timberline 1300, or my Kamado Joe Big Joe. Currently it's calling for showers in the morning Christmas day, so I will most likely be using my BJ. My grills sit on my uncovered deck and I don't mind smoking in the rain with my BJ but I will not use the 1300 in the rain, due to the pellets. I have a lot of picky eaters in my family and turkey is the only thing they will all agree on. We always do one in the oven, conventional style and one smoked, I have a large extended family.

Not smoking anything for Christmas. Homemade cheese/potato pierogi with polish sausage on Christmas Eve. And on Christmas Day, homemade lasagna.

 

[meatallica]

My brother and his GF are coming up from Annapolis on Sat. There will be 6 of us total. 2- 12lb packer briskets in the Humphreys and spiral sliced Honey Baked Ham ( knockoff recipe.. but I can do it just as good as they do, and save money)

 

[forktender]

Nothing, I'm afraid. Special and "Feast Day" meals are, by tradition, Miss Linda's domain. Since my mama didn't raise no fools, I don't even consider contravening convention. This, however, does NOT include Boxing Day!! LOL.
As Dan said, I'm just happy that nobody in my family is looking up at turnip roots this Christmas and that the 4 members of our immediate family will be together at our place.

My wife still works every holiday on night shifts, so we always do our holiday celebrating a day or two before or after the holidays. I'm the cook in our house my wife can't boil water without a timer, and I'm not kidding, so I cook, and she cleans which is fine with me. My Mom still cooks on the holidays but with this COVID-19 CRAP happening it has just been my folks and me which sucks because she always had 20 to 35 people at the house on Easter, St Paddy's, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some of those people I only get to see on holidays because they moved away, I really miss the big crowds and loud dinner table conversations/fights and doing shots with my drunk'in cousins.
(If you know any Irish/Sicilian families you know what I'm talk'in about.)

I hope you all have a great Christmas, Hanuka, Chrismukkah, Kwanzaa or Festivus with your loved one's!!!

I know exactly what you're talking 'bout FT. It's a Festivus for the rest of us!

Very nice.
Ditto my wife, and a good thing she doesn’t have your address

 

[phatbac]

One 8# rib roast and a 4~# rib roast. I'm cooking the bigger one med rare and then smaller one medium well for the heathens (in laws) who like to ruin steak. unfortunately i will be miles away at someone else's house so they will both be done in an oven.

Happy Smoking,

Not sure yet for us. Canceled our friends and most family. Still have daughter and grandkids nearby and will see ... about all keeping us crazy/sane this year.
But I’m in a boot with a crutch and coming off a back procedure, and wife with something like frozen shoulder, so will need to be something light/easy. Heck, with the virus we can’t even be the Christmas Story Parkers going out ... Fa ra ra ra ra

 

[civilsmoker]

Had plans for a double smoked carving ham with a cherry port reduction but PR went on sale for 5.49/lb so will be picking up a 9 lber later today that the butcher cut this morning and is saving it behind the counter for me. The double smoked ham just got booted to NY din din.....

 

[kawboy]

Traditionally we do fish and apple strudel for Christmas. We are not getting together as a family, but the wife and I will have it on a smaller scale. I may just do some smoked devilled eggs though. I'll try to sneak my mom a plate at her apartment though. Shhhhhhh……...

We normally would have fried Fish but half the crew, fish eaters, are not coming. Too much mess for just Bev and I. Additional items will be Polish Meatless Mushroom Soup, Fried Sauerkraut, Peas and assorted Pickles, Olives and Marinated Artichoke Hearts...JJ

 

[Munson]

Maybe a pork butt.
Maybe a tri tip.
Not sure yet.
