My gf was able to eat some of everything. Her mother joined us for dinner. We washed it down with a 2004 Muir-Hanna Napa Pinot Noir.

The gravy was pretty good. Not too smokey. I used drip pan juices (I didn't get any fond). I put a couple of small squares of glace de viande from my fridge in it which makes it rich and darkens the color. I used a little bit of red wine to cut a little bitterness from the smoke.

Looks good.

Wow. Sure beats my 2 boneless pre-cooked hams. Course, anything not pre-cooked under stinkin' 170 internal is only good for me in this house.

I trimmed off most/all of the fat cap, salted and rubbed with Dolly Paste last night and left it in a ziploc in the fridge over night.

Here's what it looked like before salting and rubbing:


Here's what it looked like after a night in the fridge slathered in Dolly Paste with the mav pobe in and ready to go on the smoker:



I am cooking at 225ºF-235ºF going for in IT of 150ºF. Using a small amount of whiskey barrel oak (Jack Daniels) chips for smoke flavor. I am also cooking with a drip pan on a lower rack. I am hoping to have something to make a brown gravy with.
