✅ Take Kid #2 & NoodleDog for a walk
✅ Clean a few more windows
✅ Put the #GreenHam into the #PelletGrill
✅ Tidy the back deck
✅ I'm sure there's more...
@MarkAsser Thank you for the reminder: there are a couple of turkey drumsticks, a roast chicken carcass, a stack of pastrami, and a decent chunk of #GreenHam which all need to be dealt with* today.

I'm pleased to report that both my #GreenHam and roast chicken were properly cooked, flavoursome & juicy as fuck.
Apologies for the delay: shit got hectic yesterday afternoon/evening...
Please find attached pics of the finished #GreenHam. It was in the #PelletGrill for 6 hours, then rested under foil for another 1½ hours. It was by far the juiciest pork I have ever cooked.
Ham & cheese toastie for breakfast, it seems...
Please stand by for alt-text...

#GreenHam is now in the portable fridge, along with the chook & brine (the chook & brine are still in separate containers, as I don't want to over-salt it). Tomorrow morning, I'll remove the pork from its brine, stitch it up*, and pop it back into the fridge to form a pellicle**.

*I have not attempted this before
**How will i know if the ham has pellicled?
@gusseting The question is: "What am I *not* grilling?"... I purchased this grill (https://zgrills.com.au/product/mini-portable-bbq) some time between lockdowns, as I ran out of patience learning to fly a charcoal-powered bullet smoker. Since then, I estimate it's been used at least once a week. I treat it more like an oven than an Aussie BBQ.
My latest offering was this #GreenHam dress rehearsal for Xmas Eve: https://aus.social/@ghost_shit/115488069932194608
