Good gawd that's a lot of pig!  This is going to take a while.

That picture is reminding me of the peg leg pig joke.   ;D

Six hours into this smoke and the ham which started at 38º is up yo 73º. I'm almost halfway there!!

This monster may be the coolest thing I have ever seen...

Update after the 12 hour drying period. The IT of the ham is up to 89º (started at 38º) The temp has been bumped up to 140º and the smoke has started to roll. I will apply 8 hours of Hickory Smoke this is the flavoring period. This is like a hockey game 3 periods. The Drying, The Flavoring, and the Cooking/Finishing. I will post a picture again after the smoke is done rolling, which should be about 1am.

You should not have any problem at all getting concentrated smoke it that Bradely.  Don't look like you have much air displacement left over after hanging that beast of a ham.  :o ;D

Sounds like all is well in hamville, can't wait to see the pics.

Wanna Bet!! I planned this so I would be able to kill the smoke and take a nap from 1-7 am while the PID is in autopilot. I even snuck in a 2 hour nap this afternoon until some hungover strung out Monkey called and woke me up!! ;D :D

I came Home SOBER!

I had to drive 1 1/2 hrs back Home.

Well it is just about 1am I went out and caught the last minute of this 8 hour Smoke. I even caught it on camera when I opened the door.



Now Hamzilla has definitely taken on some great color. She is only at 109º after 20 hours in the smoker. Now I will bump up the temp to 170º change out the water, which also catches any drippings, and it is time for me to take a nap until morning and wait for the internal temp to reach 152º. Just to be mean I took a second pic a little closer to really show off the great color.

[Quarlow]

OMG how will you sleep with that thing around

[classicrockgriller]

You might have out done yourself!

You should do a video for the rest of us idiots.

[FLBentRider]

Would you look at the color on that Ham!


I would.
