Smoked Spam
Yes, I said Spam.....
I'll put just about anything on the smoker to see how it turns out, and when a coworker brought up the Spam website (Warning: lost of flash and audio) last week at work....well, I decided I had to give it a try. They're really playing up the, "Hey look at us, we're Spam, haha" kinda thing. We got a good chuckle looking at the website. I haven't had Spam since I was a kid, so I thought I would just throw it on the smoker to see what happens. One of them I smoked naked and the other I rubbed generously with butt rub.
They were both pretty good. Only a slight smokey flavor because the smoke didn't really penetrate the meat. There is a crapload of salt in these things, so the one with the rub was a way too salty. If I ever do these again I'll rub it with either a very sweet or very spicy rub to counteract the salt a little bit. I fried a couple leftover pieces this morning for a spam and cheese sammie for breakfast. I could really taste the smoke after it sat overnight.
No, I didn't fire up the smoker just for some Spam yesterday. I cooked some pulled beef barbecue, too.

omg...u didnt smoke SPAM??..lol
LOL, yup...SPAM. It was actually decent. Like I said, it was better fried up the next morning. Nice smoke flavor. I'll likely due these for breakfast sometime during an overnight smoke. They are definitely a novelty though....not something I'll cook all the time.
Hi William, I am a good ole Georgia Boy that just ran across you blog. I have been smoking Spam for years at all our get-togethers and Pigouts. I cut it in 4 or 5 pieces and smoke it in my Bradley Smoker for about 1 1/2 hours with no rub. You get a super "not strong" smoke taste. Then cut it up in cubes and serve it plain or with a couple different dipping sauces. Now Friends and Family and people I don't even know beg me to do it. Serve some Pickled Quail Eggs with it and you got a hit.
