I hadn’t done a joint on the bbq so when I saw a standard gammon reduced in Asda to £2.50 it had to be worth an experiment!!!
I had a look round and it seemed to be 250 for 4 and a half to 5 hours but I now realise that is for a larger joint. Anyway, I got the Aldi kamado up to a steady 250, rubbed the gammon in chipotle and lime seasoning, added some chilli flakes and put it on the bbq with indirect heat. After 90 minutes or so I couldn’t resist having a peek, it looked close to done so I lowered the heat for 10 minutes and took it out. Crust was a bit chewy but meat tasted good and you could tell it had the rub on when cooking.
For a first go I was happy that it was edible and I didn’t get food poisoning, think next time I’ll go with less heat (maybe 175?) and leave in for longer.

I’ve thought about doing gammon for a while, that looks superb. What was the size of the joint you cooked and roughly what temp / for how long?
