Please help on two meat cooking time

Unknown

I'm looking for help from all the wisdom that is on this forum. My wife and I are throwing a party tomorrow for her brother,a solider who is on two week R&R from Baghdad.[p]I'm going to be smoking a 12lb beef center tip roast and a 11lb pre cooked spiral ham. I have it figured out that the beef will go on the bottom grate. Using extentions the top grate will clear the beef by about 1". The ham will go on top so I can keep basting with honey water and pineapple juice.[p]How long should I cook and at what temp? I do have a Polder and can track internal temp on beef.[p]Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.[p]Tim

Tim D,
Check the heating instructions on the label of the ham and see how that coincides with 4 hours at 325 for a medium finish on that roast. You'll probably wanna add the ham sometime later in the cook so as not to dry it out and also to give the outside of that beef enough bark so it doesn't come out tasting like ham. Maybe even give the meat a quick sear in skillet before roasting.[p]Pick up some Sam Adams Oktoberfest for the lad to wash away the sand and cleanse the palate for some good home cooking.[p]Cheers,
C~Q

Citizen Q,
Use a meat thermometer for both, set the Egg temp. at about 350 and take off at the prescribe temp. And don't forget the Sam Adams. Boston Lager is my favorite, the Double Bock they used to have was also great.
