Dinner for 30 tonight. Another rehearsal party at our place. Had to put this pig on a turkey lifter. Might help to take it off. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Just picked up 3 pork bellies to start bacon this weekend as well. Did the ham Egret style as always. Can't wait.

    I'm thinking there are going to be 30 happy rehearsal guests. The cooking aroma will get them going even before they have a bite.

    From what I understand, a piece of meat like that will cook more evenly up in the air, but not faster than is it was sitting in a metal plate.

    It's not on a metal plate. I have the drip pan raised on the PS, then a gap to the main grate, then the ham sitting on the turkey lifter grate.

    Looks great.  Was this a fresh ham?  I am thinking of doing one and a turkey for Thanksgiving.  Did you cure it first?

    No it was not a fresh "green" ham. It was cured/smoked. I scored this one. Not sure if I should have or not but I wanted the paste to get into the meat more. As well as the smoke. Hour and a half in so far.

    Heck yes! :plus_one: ....Slice it up & serve w/ eggs benedict, buttered grits and bacon strips. The last and one and only ham I did last year was a green ham 18#er. It's a process but, worth it. Might do another this holiday season.
