The Big Cook

Aubree & Hazen home for the weekend and I haven't cooked any food for them on the smoker yet, trying to think of something different to do, had a ham in the freezer so lets give that a try.

cut the skin off ham and diagonally slashed the fat, injected with Pineapple & Apple Juice, soy & worcestershire sauce.



then rubbed it down with my favorite rub




Spatchcocked a couple chickens (cut the backbone out and broke breastbone so they lay flat) and brined overnight, sprinkled 'em with Tony C's




Mixed up a pot of beans, made a couple fatty's with my homemade sausage & 20 ABT's (jalapenos sliced lengthwise, filled with cream cheese and a little smokie in about 1/2 of em, wrapped with bacon) next time gonna chop the little smokies up and mix em with the cream cheese,

Here's everything happily cooking along



everything turned out very good, The Ham was dry around the outside but juicy inside, next time will wrap in foil after about 4 hrs, had a great flavor, my 1st time making ABT's and gonna be on the grill whenever I fire it up from now on, they were great, especially about midnight after many beers, when me and Ryan finished the leftovers, fatty's were amazing as always, chicken was moist with nice smokey flavor,


Aubree & Hazen, Heather & Ryan, Shawna & Spud, Mom, Dawn & Lumpy, Lynn & I were here, Bonnie & Wayne stopped by but had to leave before dinner, they did get to try the fatty, we had a great time and plenty of good food and fun, hope everyone enjoyed themselves, I did.
