Smoked Holiday Ham From Scratch! | Chuds BBQ

[@markbosworth9877]

Always a pleasure seeing your Mom and Dad in your videos. Nice to see the upgrade from Weber.

[@Mr_Mojo_Risin]

😂 It’s the Chud’s BBQ Cooking Comedy Channel. Most excellent commentary while making delicious food.

My wife has been asking me to make a home made ham and I think with this video and your others, i've finally built up the courage to attempt it in the new year. Thanks Brad, your the man! Hope you and your family had a wonderful christmas!

[@fredrikhedlund1261]

Christmas greetings from a Snowy Sweden! Thanks for letting us partake in your lovely familiy festivities! :)

[@mustachedave7042]

Small tip. Cure with the bone, then smoke the bone seperate with trimmings. Makes for a great soup base. Awesome job, I’ve been doing hams for a while, this looked great!

[@pjl4562]

Love it! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Safe travels.

[@g54b95]

Merry Christmas Brad et al. I went a different direction and smoked a slab of beef plate ribs for my Christmas dinner. As I was prepping the meat for the dry brine the day before smoking, all I heard in my head was "Pat it dry...(ding)". Seasoned with kosher salt, Saigon cinnamon, black pepper and chipotle powder. 5lbs at 250 - 300 on my Weber took about 7 hours. Absolutely slayed it.

[@Theweeknightdad]

Honestly these vlog style videos are always my favorite.

[@ShiroRX]

One of the things South Florida is good for is finding bone-in pork shoulders and picnic roasts. Us Carribean hispanics couldn't live without them 😂

[@FredrikAndersson-d7s]

I’m doing a lot of hams but this one gave me more ideas, thanks from Sweden, Tiny.

[@md77jev38]

Man, where you been bro? Love all your videos and have for years. Made my first home cured ham at Thanksgiving this year, second was smoked on Christmas day. Could have used some of your tips ahead of time though

[@cesarboulos6371]

You are the top of universe! 👏 👏 👏 Merry Xmas from 🇧🇷

[@NicksGotBeef]

Happy Christmas to your whole family…. Here’s to 2024 😊

[@24kachina]

Fan-taystic! Typical culinary excellence. Mr. Chud is separating himself from the pack of You Tube cooks, and he's doing it by a lot. Merry Xmas and happy holidays all.

[@indianboy72]

Merry Christmas. Hope you had a wonderful day. Thanks for all the terrific videos and content. I’ve seen every one.

[@patrickparent1451]

Love these Bradley family reunion cooks !

[@butopiatoo]

Dinner with your family is the highlight of the year. Thanks to your family for sharing.

[@kelliekresse5710]

Your family videos are the best. But I love how our family is all about the puzzles, dominoes, drinks, and food. Merry Christmas. ❤❤❤

[@Kirizan]

Looks amazing! Have you ever thought about making your own liquid smoke? I’ve always wondered if home made liquid smoke would be useful for things.

[@SilverFoxCooking]

Great looking ham Brad! Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@bleeigh]

Merry Christmas to you and your entire family. These videos are outstanding for those of us that are alone.

[@dannyallen3452]

Dude. Your family videos are the best!

[@glpf5]

That looks like the same process as removing the bones from a leg of lamb! Thanks for the video and Happy Holidays!

[@RPrice_OG]

Sounds like I'll be doing this for Easter. Thanks.

[@karens8515]

Another great video Brad. You have an awesome family as well, always enjoy watching them.

[@TriptoCo]

I grew up in NH and VT. The NE is the best. Happy Holidays good sir!

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

That bone is going to be the best gift for the official taste tester!

[@johnknorr1140]

So was a pleasure watching your videos very entertaining and the food absolutely looks great. I’m so glad that I watched the bearded butchers and I checked your videos out and I’ve been watching you ever since thank you for all you do and have a very merry Christmas and a great and very happy new year

[@jimmiemeeks9795]

Merry Christmas appreciate y'all 😊

[@mattmadding7869]

Nice Christmas ham!

[@mikenicholson2548]

Brad looked awesome. The Martini I can live without. LOL

[@scottcarey9799]

Nice. Love me a home smoked ham. Adding humidity helps push the internal temps up vs raising the temp of the smoker when cooking a brined cut of meat. Increasing temps lowers rh and it actually takes longer to cook risking drying it out. Look up smoker wet/dry bulb. It explains it a lot more. Also, using sodium erythorbate helps even the color out. Pretty optional though and why add more ingredients than actually necessary? Loved the video.

[@davidburkhart9184]

That was great with the snake in my boot , happy holidays sir

[@StephenBlackWolf]

DUDE!! You're from New Hampshire!! I'm from Vermont! Howdy there, neighbor!!

[@kirkschaffner9939]

Merry Christmas!

[@armabearo]

Man at least it was cold up there. Freaking 65 out in pa on Christmas day 🤣

[@Greyskydies]

That looked so good. I love ham!

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!

[@bryanrulz3904]

Merry Christmas brother!

[@bradh74]

Next to Brooke your the looker in the family! I thought I had an original idea using Maple Syrup in mustard sauce. Works well on chicken bacon swiss! Like really well!

[@wandab3843]

A lovely family

[@dennisseeker36]

thanks for sharing bro. you , good information and you make vids fun, but still to the point. perfect vid , just like that ham looks perfect. american in the philippines and very hard to buy good ham or bacon, so i am working on growing pigs now and i hope in a year i can start learning to make the hams and bacon etc, ( as well as building smokers ) so your vids very helpful !

[@garryhammond3117]

Holy Ham! - Thanks Brad! - Cheers!

[@MrIslandlogger]

Chud aka Brad...is...legenddddd!!

[@Vikingwerk]

Think I might try this with Pork Loin, make some Canadian Bacon-esque ham.

[@smiffyOG]

Your family is awesome Brad

[@seankester1814]

That looked so delicious I think I could smell it from here. Another recipe I’ll be smokin’ soon.

[@billchambers2585]

Can you do a video on how you keep your butcher block clean and sanitary?

[@damoose1829]

looks awesome brad. Being from and still in Western Ny I can relate the flavor profile. I could almost taste it. Picking up a ham this week and see what happens!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to You and Your family!!

[@jlaw3255]

Hope you had fun in New HAMpshire

[@bobdawson8041]

That look great iam going to have to try it

[@edpeaceofmind]

Can you keep using your brine to cure other meets? Or do I need to get a fresh batch?

[@StinkoMan22]

After deboning, before brining, you could dunk it in a transglutaminase slurry and stuff it in that hamsack so the proteins will bond and you'll have a nice solid boneless ham

[@tylerpiper140]

When you take frozen meat on a plane do you put the frozen meat in you checked bags or do you put it in your carry on bag?

[@clworthington91]

What percentage of cure are you using for wet brine?. Meat weight or water volume ?There is so much confusion online with wet curing in comparison to dry cure.

[@krackscountrycooking]

I’ve been wanting to try this I need to now. Merry Christmas

[@rickrigler1559]

I do not have scientific evidence, but it is understood that Nitrite begins to degrade when heated to temps at 130F and above. Do some research, but be advised. I say let your brine cool then add the Cure #1. I have found it dissolves just fine in cool/cold water. Very nice looking ham, though. Good job!

[@swampboysbbq]

Very nice, thanks for showing the way. What is the preferred slicer these days? I see the Victnx link is no more. Was there an issue? TIA.

[@Trumpetmaster77]

Delicious ham! Merry Christmas!

[@toddjones1403]

Freakin smiling the whole time! Thanks B.R.

[@67Zaphod]

My God! The food you have made leading up to Christmas could feed an army! Merry Christmas!

[@machinistbytrade]

Brad..what's your thoughts on using SS pans versus plastic tubs to brine meats? Some say the stainless steel will impart some different flavors into the meats over time. Your experience? Enjoy all your videos! Merry Christmas to you !

[@jonanna980]

I’ve never tasted a difference.

[@vaughnmerritt8857]

What is the metal plate used to heat the pans?

[@kenwicks6540]

You had me at Smoked !!

[@xBananaTERROR]

i could have used this a couple weeks ago, but hey. i got through somehow curing/injecting/brining within a week for a 23 pound ham and made it to the table within a week. a christmas ham miracle, indeed edit: you get a like for "most snake in boot time of the year"

[@gunarannders7797]

Looks like a nice place to grow up.

[@okcharleys]

Oh yeah we are gonna try this. Cheers, Merry Christmas to the gang

[@coryharrison9659]

When your sister said “that ruled” the 90s kid in me didn’t even register how dated that phrase is lol.

[@brettjackson5527]

Wow looks delicious!

[@remivandenham6821]

That's look delicious 😋😋

[@gamonfietty7669]

Happy holidays

[@brookesprecision6272]

That ham looks freakin amazing !!

[@ajvot71]

That looks awesome.

[@darthgbc363]

No snow???? Here in NW Minnesota - it's been raining for 4 days & now it's starting to freeze. 4" of slush will soon be solid. I bet it will take an hour to get inside my truck in the morning.

[@ShiroRX]

Brad, any tips for flying with frozen, vac-sealed meat? Sending some homemade bacon (your dry brine recipe lol) back with my relatives later this week for the first time.

[@quadfather504fpv9]

Dude I've been wanting to try a amaretto pineapple juice and brown sugar injected smoked ham , think that'd be good

[@benjamincobb4168]

HAMazing! Do y'all have cottage ham up there in the northeast? It's pretty much a "corned" pork butt like how you described pastrami as the Jewish answer to holiday ham. I made one for Halloween this year and I think it would make a great vid! Cheers!

[@24kachina]

Touche!!!

[@ronhalfman4158]

I don't get med/high heat out of my trivet. Can I make the brine on the stovetop?

[@darthgbc363]

Best frozen peas prep - Pour frozen peas into boiling water for 10 seconds, drain, & serve.

[@codytutor567]

Yup, definitely trying this with a pork butt. Looks amazing!

[@kendallrouse44]

What is the hot plate he put the sauce pan on.

[@johnyandolli3651]

Have you ever shared your story/journey from New Hampshere to Texas?????

[@rtskelton335]

Amazing!

[@dennyo7798]

Sounds like you had a very proper Christmas! Have you tried to do the picnic ham cut, that is below the butt? Butt you know where that cut is. ;

[@dennisschickling2249]

Happy New Years 2024 🌏 #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@beechermeats9797]

For the algorithms bay bay!!!!

[@littlebob1261]

That rules!! LOL Cheers bro

[@DjurrenArt]

I just saw a sneaky sausage!!

[@CarlosRuiz-v5z]

I want that bad boy grill I wonder if it could be shipped overseas to an USA army base 😍

[@Cbbq]

Looking for that injector you used, it is not on your Amazon links

[@mauricehemmings5661]

I was unable to double smoke ours this year because of what I call GA snow(rain), but I baked ours low and slow with a maple rub then glazed with a rum cherry and orange pineapple juice glaze with the glaze packet. It was delicious and so tender, now I'm saving the bone and meat on the bone for collard greens on new years

[@markagobirds7433]

I have 4 fresh hams from a pig I got from a local farm. I'll definitely be doing this. Has any smoked a ham without curing? Pulled ham sounds interesting

[@caseywilson812]

Most of the time I will take a ham to 195 internal and pull it.

[@johnezra8151]

Always took you for one odd funny man, but seems like you are not far from the family. keep it up man

[@arronvandeneynde]

Your mom looked glazed while your sister was making the glaze 🤣🤣🤣

[@williamlott7612]

Can a pork shoulder be deboned and cured the same way?

[@ChudsBbq]

Yup! I plan to do that next Christmas!

[@brianprince3110]

Glass drink stir sticks?? 😂

[@TrineRowe]

Your mom is the cutest “there’s a snake in my boot”

[@walterblackledge1137]

Another one for Easter?

[@OGBamBam-06]

Looks great. Have you tried any of the natural cures? I never have, could you try a recipe using a natural cure. Merry Christmas

[@budfahnestock2418]

you gotta get yourself a netting horn
