Hams in the Hole!!!

[Captain Morgan]

Hams in the WSM....btw, it's raining hard, up to 8 inches expected,
winds gusting over 45 mph, temp is 42 and wind chill is 33.

It's been quite an adventure getting the wsm lit and the hams on.
So only pics of the hams right now






These are ready to cook, I trimmed some of the skin/fat off to get
better smoke penetration. Using a little cherry to add to what they
already have, probably hickory or oak.

 

[SteerCrazy]

Man, 8 inches of rain?? :? doesn't sound like fun.....we're callin for 70* and sunny on turkey day good luck with that smoke cappy.....

 

[LarryWolfe]

Jim make sure you are stocked with beer and bread, just incase you get flooded in you can drink and have ham sandwiches!

 

[Captain Morgan]

Thanks guys, gonna be interesting! Rain is supposed to continue
through Thanksgiving!! Got 5 turkeys to fry!!!! A couple of
inches of rain in my boiling peanut oil won't hurt anything,
right??

 

[LarryWolfe]

Jim break out the Ez Up.

 

[Captain Morgan]

45 mph wind gusts!!!! might try it anyway...ever since that storm hit
us last spring and that EZ up went flying across the parking lot and
bashed into a SUV, I've been nervous about the wind! That was a
hell of a storm!

Good luck Cappy. Grab something to hold onto with one hand and a bottle in the other.

 

[Captain Morgan]

lol, first time you came down for ribs it was storming like hell!
Maybe the extra moisture was why they came out so good!
Haven't reached that level since!

You be careful with that fryer, Cappie. I don't want to see you in the middle of a fireball on youtube.com

 

[Finney]

Man I hate this weather..... You are a better man than me for being out there cooking.... Of course, I don't have anybody here expecting food.

Cappy be glad its still doing ice and snow here in Denmark at 726PM , just took the garbage down to the street , Niki made me a pot of coffee for me but its gonna take more than one , LOL. Good luck with the turkey frying bro. My smoker is in the shop for repairs to plug a whole in the bottom and add a grease drip.

I wish now I am without my smoker for at least 3 weeks while he is on the road doing long haul trucking. But he has something special in mind and he picked up the other 2 55 gallon drums I got and the plans I drew up for a double smoker .
