What a day. I started the grills a couple hours early to melt the snow and ice off.     I did ham in a pan wrapped tightly with a couple cups of water on the 26 and I did a roti turkey on the performer. After a 4-5 hours on low heat, I fat separated the ham juice for gravy later then I exposed the ham the last hour and basted with a grey poupon, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey glaze at high heat. I took the picture before it was caramelized so it doesn't look great but it was amazing. I injected the turkey with chicken stock and Valentina mixture and rubbed with olive oil and weber kickin chicken. The injection took which I wasn't sure since it was my first time injecting using the roti. It was cold and I had to kick start things a couple times using the smokey joe as a chimney starter to add hot coals. All in all it was a blast.




And the aftermath

I like the ham method you used there. Slow cook to render and then adding the sugars and juices for the end. Sounds great man. Looks even better

Nice cook.  Multiple grill cooking is fun keeps you busy.

Thanks fellas. Maximizing and preserving the ham juice for high quality ham gravy is a tradition for my family and takes top priority over all else. The gravy along with my wife's mashed potatoes is what everyone is after. The ham and turkey tasting great is a good bonus though.

I'm really looking forward to experimenting with the turkey injection. I would really like it much spicier.

Looks good. What's that contraption under the ham?

It's a roast rack from an old 12 qt nesco. It made it easy to move the ham to and from.
