Ham Test Day for Me...

[Solidkick]

Because I'm doing the turkey test on Saturday. Ham has been in since 9 am. Cooked for 3 hours and have wrapped in foil and still a cookin'. Temp is now at 132 with a target of 160. I threw in some thighs with the ham for something to nibble on. Here's a pic of them. No sauce as the oldest boy don't like it, so sauce on the side tonight. I'm gonna be awhile with the ham, so I may throw some wings in just for fun. I'll let you know how the ham comes out.

( It WAS an 8 pack of thighs, yes they are gooood! LOL)

I'm guessing that was a fully cooked ham since you're only going to 160?? The chicken will be excellent and who needs sauce other than on the side???

Looking good amigo!

Yes, it's fully cooked. I normally do a ham in the oven in a turkey bag and just pour a can of Coke a Cola. Today I was trying apple juice and water mixture in the water pan. Wonder if I'd get good results with putting Coke a Cola in the water pan? May have to try it!

Unfortunately the Coca Cola in the water pan won't do much except possibly make a really sticky mess in water pan. Flavorings in the pan do very little to the meat -- especially in the case of a cold smoked ham. However, adding onions, garlic, other herbs, etc. to the water pan do make the area around the smoker smell great.

How lond did you smoke the thighs? Great color!

Thighs were in about 3 hours just above the water pan. Rub was nothing special, Durkee's Grill Creations chicken and rib rub, Willinghams Wham rub, and a little Blues Hog rub all mixed together. I sprayed with apple juice twice through the cook.

Ham turned out really well. Total cook time was 7 hours with an internal temp of 165. Here's a pic of the ham.
