Fuels Used:
Splits/Chunks, whatever I can get. Usually B&B competition. Favorites are Cherry, Apple, Post Oak, and Hickory.
Pellets, Lumberjack.
Charcoal, whatever is on sale. Currently have a bunch of KBB. Will eventually try B&B. Use whatever lump is on sale in my Ooni.
Propane, Blue Rhino.
Rubs:
Usually make my own riff’s on Memphis Dust and BBBR. Also use Meathead’s commercial rubs and occasionally try something new. I like a couple from Tuffy Stone and Kinder’s. After several surgeries, I’m very sensitive to “spicy” stuff, so I need to be careful about heat levels.
I'm with Mr. Bones about shortening. It has no place in my kitchen.
But whether to fry ham in bacon grease depends on the ham. If it's everyday nothing special ham, yep, bacon grease is good. Wouldn't hesitate a second on that.
If it's really nice flavored ham from one of our most excellent local lockers who do their own curing and smoking, I would probably not use bacon grease. That would be like slathering someone's ribs or brisket in KC Masterpiece before even trying a taste of the nekkid meat to see how it tastes on its own.
If I want to taste the ham and nothing but the ham. I might give the ham a little warm up and a bit of browning with a pat of butter or even mild flavored olive oil.

I’m in the league with a few of the others right above me. No vegetable oil anything cuz I found out taint no vegetables in em & they make yer body rot, yessir. Also found out eggs & bacon & the artery conundrum is a sack o’ unmentionable words that don’t mean much cept put money into some coffers of mfgs. & associations.
