If you have ever smoked meat low and slow you have an appreciation of how long it takes and how good it's going to taste when it's done.
I go to the butcher and grab a 12 lb fresh ham that cost me $15 then when I got home a smothered it with a salt brine for a week. After the week was up I rinsed it and got the smoker ready for an overnight cook and put the ham on the smoker. This thing took me 16 hours to cook setting my alarm every hour to replenish the cooker with coals and by the time I was slicing it I was very tired but ready to eat the finished product. This is when things started going down hill when the wife called me into a another room to help her move something. When I finished with the wife (90 seconds) I return to the kitchen and the ham was gone only to look over at my dog licking his chops. You SOB you ate my ham and somehow he seemed to smile at me as I chased him around th house swearing at him. The next day the dog is outside squealing like a pig cause he can't take a shit so the wife takes him to the vet. Now I have a $450 ham and the bastard gets to eat hamburger and rice per the vet prescription along with Ex-lax. I love my dog but I lost a good nights sleep just to feed his ass and eat like a king. I managed to get one bite when I was slicing it and the wife got none. I wonder if he'd care if I stole his dog food!
