Title: Twofer Tuesday - New Year's Day Cook
Post by: TentHunteR on January 02, 2013, 08:51:17 PM

We had a hard time deciding what to cook for New Year's Day. We had a Picnic Ham I'd just smoked a couple days ago, and the samples we sliced were really good. But we'd also already bought a Rib Roast.  We finally decided, let's just cook both. New Year's did fall on a Twofer-Tuesday after all! ;)

Let's fire up the MAK. Start with the ham and add the rib roast later.

What did you use to get the color on that ham?

Thanks everyone! The meal was great. My wife & daughter made the sides: Mashed potatoes, glazed carrots & cauliflower with cheese sauce. I ate way too much!

What did you use to get the color on that ham?

If you mean the bark: First, the color you're seeing is mainly from that picnic ham being double smoked; I smoked it over the weekend after curing it, then it got smoke-roasted on the MAK for this cook. The Brown sugar in the brine cure really gives it a deep colored bark without it tasting burnt.

I waited until it hit an I.T. of 145°, then started glazing it with a brown sugar & pineapple juice glaze. It caramelized very nicely without burning.


If you mean the pink color of the meat: It was cured, like a ham, before smoking: A Couple of Old School Picnic Hams (http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=2261.0)

Nice looking beef and ham! What was the time/ temp for the roast?

What was the time/ temp for the roast?

I started the ham @ 275° for 1 hour, then added the rib roast & bumped the temp to 300° until the picnic ham reached 165° and the rib roast reach 135°.  The two roasts finished within about 10 minutes of each other with the ham finishing first, making the timing just right. The ham needed a little longer to rest than the rib roast.

Total time on the rib roast was around 2 1/2 hours.

I kept the probes in them and did not slice until the temps on both leveled out. Rest time was somewhere around  35 - 40 minutes.
