    Spiral cut ham and hanging hooks...my first lesson

    All was going well. PBC fired up. Rods in place. Spiral cur ham prepped and ready to transfer into the PBC. As soon as I sunk the first hook into that ham, I knew it was going to be dicey. Most of the pineapple rings fell off. The spirals nearly fell apart and left my ham hanging by a thread. I worked quickly to get a better "purchase" into the meat with the hooks and it eventually worked out until 120 deg.
    At 120 deg I transferred the ham to the cooking grate to begin basting until it hit 140deg.
    The post cook photos are tongue and cheek as I re-hung the original pineapple rings on the ham after the cook.
    Lesson learned for me...try to find a ham with bone in that is NOT spiral cut.
    The cook itself was glorious.

      LoL!

      Sounds familiar. I went straight to the grate with the first PBC ham. Couldn't close the lid as the ham was too tall!


      PBC, PBC, PBC!

        I have had the same happen to me...The Kettle with SNS is the cooker of choice for hams because of the clearance issues...

      Good job. The left over bone with meat on it makes great red beans.

        Funny you should say that! The awesome aroma of beans and ham bone are wafting through the house presently!
        Good call!

        Sometimes being a successful Pitmaster is all how we adapt to save the cook! Nice work.

        Great Cook, Pitmaster. No one has to see how the sausage was made. Btw, love the tubs, DavidNorcross

        You did great! Nice pivot to save the day. Your ham looks delicious. Was it juicy?
