1st try with my Bradley

[TMB]

Got a late start but I finialy got it goin

Red Neck ham and a 5.5 lb butt, I'm smoking with Apple and Hickory pucks.   I hope to post later on today when the ham is done and late tonight when the butt is done.   I have so much time to wait I don't know what to do

WHAT??????  You have so much time to wait and you don't know what to do?????  SHHHHHHHHHH    ;D ;DGotta remember the Bradley pledge.  Smoking is hard work.  Never a spare minute to sit and rest.  Always let them see you in a  sweat.   ;D ;D.  Might I suggest grabbing a beer or 12 and relax and enjoy the day. 

Congrats on the 1st smoke.  Might consider keeping a log of what you did, how long it took, what went right and what went wrong.

I'm so use to blow and go with my Big Easy's and SRG's (4 hr butts)  not 8 to 10 !

I'll keep notes for sure and very excited about finialy getting to use it. 

I'll have a few pictures soon the ham only takes about 3 to 4 hrs

My heart is going pitter patter right now - swelling up with emotion.   ;D ;D ;D ;D

8 to 10?  Pretty optimistic aren't you Tommy? :D  I'm thinking a wee bit longer than 8-10.

Welcome to the world of low and slow!

Well the ham is.  ;D    Sorry the picture isn't clear but you get the idea.

Glaze is   1 bottle Sundrop (Mtn-Dew will work) 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cloves (power) a pinch of sea salt. Mix over low boil til it's thick and to your liking.  Spread mixture over the ham every 15 to 20 min's (after 3 to 4 hrs smoke) and slice (pictures soon of slicing

 
Boy the butt on the other hand is taking forever!!!   not use to waiting, heck I feel like a new father waiting and waiting and waiting!  I keep looking out the door to make sure the power is on!!!!!  Boy talk about a newbie!!   ;D

[TestRocket]

Patients my friend patients. It will be done when it's done!

But that ham looks delicious!    ;D

[SouthernSmoked]

I drueled on myself........

[KyNola]

Yeah Tommy, that ham is definitely done and rocking!  Beautifully done.

First time on a Bradley maybe but this definitely is not your first rodeo around a pit.

Let me just go ahead and get this over with.

It is my pleasure to say............. "reel 'em in boys, we've hooked another one".

Tommy - ham looks great. Butts take a while, that's why they made 12 packs and 18 packs of adult beverages.

The ham looks great, bet it tastes even better.
