A few days ago I satisfied my yen for a fried Spam sandwich
and then had to try smoking some at the suggestions of a couple members. This
led to the next step of trying some Spam burnt ends and they would be good over
grits.
It was hot and muggy; a sittin out back sipping beer kinda
day! I had read over Old Dave’s recipe for pork burnt ends for a guide. I
figured 3 hours would be plenty for the Spam. I used m1 ½ cans of the original
Spam; cut it in half length wise and then in 3 slices and cut them in thirds. This
gave 1 inch by 1 ¼ inch chunks. I seasoned them well with some Blues Hog Rub.
I had the Traeger heated to 180 deg. 200 grill level. The
Spam went on a frog mat for an hour. I then eased up to 275 deg. grill level
for another hour. They looked good at two hours so I added them to a foil pan
and added the sauce. For my sauce I used about a third cup of Kah’s BBQ sauce
and 3 TBS. of Blues Hog Tennessee Red sauce.
The last hour I stirred them a couple of times and went to
290 deg. grill level for the last half hour. I went inside and got my grits
cooking. I had some Palmetto Farms white and yellow mix course ground grits. I
had a few jowl bacon bits left I added to the grits.
I served the burnt ends over the grits, a side salad and
some bread and butter. I had a couple tablespoons of the Tennessee Red sauce
over my Spam and Grits. That tasted pretty good and did not take much preparation.
