Brown Sugar Whiskey and Chipotle Smoked Spam

[cowgirl]

After smoking bologna not long ago, someone suggested I try spam.
I'm not a big spam fan, but liked the way this turned out.

I used one regular Spam and one bacon flavored Spam.





I scored the regular one and partially sliced the bacon one....
Then put them in my drum cooker at 300 degrees with some hickory.





I mixed brown sugar and cayenne pepper for the bacon spam and minced some chipotle peppers in adobo for the regular spam...





After smoking for an hour I brushed the regular spam with the adobo sauce and placed minced chipotles in the slits..



Sprinkled the bacon spam with cayenne brown sugar and spritzed with Crown Royal whiskey....

Then smoked for another 15 or so minutes.









The cayenne/brown sugar/ Crown/ bacon flavored spam had a nice crisp coating but was tender and moist inside...







The chipotle/ adobo spam was nice and moist inside too...












They were both kind of tasty and I plan on making them again.
Thanks for checking out my Spam smoke. :)

Looks good, Jeanie! I really wish you'd quit wasting that Crown Royal on cooking. That's what they make cheap whiskey for.

Huh! I have heard of this smoking Spam thing. I'm not a big fan of the stuff either, but for a couple bux, what the heck! Thanks for the test run.

I could eat that, Im sure the smoke and brown sugar, chipotle & adobo helps that tremendously... Great idea and great pics kiddo...

[erain]

very interesting..... well if anything ya sure made it look good!!! didnt erase childhood memories though. remember lotsa spam sandwiches.




how long did it take to smoke one a them spam roasts, and did the plateau last a long time

[Walking Dude]

i smoked several of these, and posted them over at the dark side.........it gives the spam some added flavor......

i like the idea of the chipotle.......will have to give that a try

[cowgirl]

Thanks folks! I liked this batch better than the smoked bologna I did awhile back.
Keith... Crown is the only kind I have on the farm. Guess I could get a bottle of cheaper stuff for my cooking. Then I wouldn't be tempted to spritz myself while cooking. :)

Wow...this is the first time I have ever found spam appetizing! Cool idea for sure! btw the photos are super duper photos....NICE

I admit it does look tasty. I had my fair share of it growing up & I made a deal with myself to never eat it again.

[cowgirl]

Thank you Ryan and Mike! Hope you give it a try sometime. Mike the brown sugar/whiskey and chipotle really do make it taste better. :)

Looks great (she does it again.....), heck at those prices there is no need to even slice it thin for the relatives !!!

Me too! Asked mom what Spam meant, she said it was Special Pieces of Animal Meat!

Looks darn good. You put a nice touch on things Jeanie.
