Par nuked the thick bacon so as not to overcook the jumbo scallops.

Misc. stuff

Clay pot chickens


Instead of the usual egret ham, I decided to try this recipe"
https://heygrillhey.com/twice-smoked-ham/
The XL worked perfectly for this cook, wouldn't have worked as well in the Traeger.
1) 250F: 1.5hr smoke with a small hickory chunk and handful of pecan chips
2) 300F: 2hr tented braise with one cup of chicken broth
3) 450-500F: Short blast to caramelise the glaze
Super happy with the result, just the right amount of smoke, glaze not dried up, moist meat and not too salty. Going forward this will be my go to for ham, also nice not having to mess with maple syrup injection.

Thanks for looking!

    Always a great cook.  Beautiful glaze right there.  Bonus for the stand-alone thread.  
    Uma fully approves:

    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    @lousubcap Debated between stand alone thread and WAYCTDr since there's nothing unusual except for the new ham recipe. Every little bit helps to keep the forum life support remain hooked I guess  :s

    @Stormbringer Just so you know, based on comments on the recipe, I modified step 1. Instead of smoking naked I applied some rub using a light coat of mustard as binder. Looking forward to see how it turns out for you.

    I showed this to SWMBO. Her interpretation of what you wrote is probably wildly different from your intent. 😃

    OMG, food porn at its best, you've got a keeper. It's almost bedtime across the Pond, don't forget she's called SWMBO so you know what's best, no pic didn't happen though  =)
