Anyone Else Up Cooking?

[FatDaddy]

Well, it started out last night with all good intentions of getting the trailer cleaned up and ready to go for next weekends Cookoff in Throckmorton, TX. I bought all 3 of my briskets at SAMS, Got the pit all cleaned out except I forgot to clean out the fire box. So this morning I crawl out of bed at 430 to get it lit up and discover that there is 2" of standing water and ash in the firebox (guessing I shouldnt have welded that corner shut lol):mad2: So I am now behind for my practice run on a 15.5lb Choice Angus packer. I wanted flats but they were all pathetic. Also looked at 2 other cases of packers and nothing stood out so I had to go with these big ones. I had every intention of injecting it with Butchers BBQ injection just as I do for comps but that didnt happen. It is almost 0600 and the pit is just now coming up to temp. I'm gonna be running a little hotter today I suppose to try and get this thing done by 1700-1800.. Just thought I'd see if anyone one else was up and about yet.

In up and just lit the Egg. Wasn't planning on cooking but I picked up a ham at the store and thought "Why not"?

 

[FatDaddy]

I never think about cooking a ham unless it is a holiday of some sorts. Think that will be my next cook... Doin any injections or glazes on it?

I'm slacking. Just going to do the glaze that came with it. I don't think about cooking ham all that often either but the were on sale this morning along with CAB chuckies and beef ribs (I gotta stop trolling the meat department) so I picked one up. I was thinking ham and egg sandwichs for breakfast this week. Bake some eggs in muffin tins at 350 reheat it in the micro and throw on some bread. Quick, packabe weekday breakfast.

Sounds good. I bought a couple of those egg rings the other day. Been makin egg/ham english muffins at home. Helluva lot better and cheaper than McDs lol.. I still wanna try the Dr. Chicken double smoked ham. I did a modified version of it a few years ago and it came out quite tasty.

My family LOVES ham on the smoker. I've done it several times in the last year. I've tried 3 or 4 recipes and we love this one.....

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Mustard & Whiskey Glaze[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]1-1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp ground clove
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon[/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground allspice
2 TBSP Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey[/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly into a thick paste.[/FONT]

It's easy to make and you just glaze the ham and cook for the last hour. it's GOOOOOOOOOD stuff.


I'm getting ready to fire up the cooker and prep a few slabs of spares for dinner tonight. Got a cryovac yesterday at Sam's. Gonna trim St. Louis style and 3-2-1 them bad boys on the UDS.
