My company gives away hams and turkeys to each employee every year, so I decided to smoke my spiral-cut ham for my in-laws this past Sunday. I opted to try my hand at a Honey-Baked ham, following an easy Malcolm Reed recipe. The ham turned out delicious, so close in fact, that my mom just thought I smoked an actual Honey-Baked Ham from the store since I kept calling it Honey Baked Ham. She really started raving when she realized it started out as a "normal" ham. I had real HBH yesterday, and I think Malcolm's might have been even better, plus cheaper! I'd guess a Real McCoy of the same size would cost in the neighborhood of maybe $75-$80.
I tried snapping a couple pics mid-cook, along with a shot of the firebox on the Gator. I'm starting to get a lot better with my fire building. Ran out of the first batch of wood that I bought from Frutia and Carolina Cookwood, so I used a bag of Hickory splits from Lowe's. They actually burnt really well! My dad bought me some Cherry and Oak for Christmas, and I can't wait to try it out!
