Smoked SPAM

I fired up my smoker the other day. I was going to smoke a big chub of bologna. So, I figured I might as well throw a few bricks of SPAM on there too. There was plenty of room. I’m a big fan of not wasting space on a smoker. It’s already lit, why waste it? I haven’t had SPAM in like 100 years, and I’ve heard that smoking it makes it even better, so I figured… why not? Well, believe me, smoked SPAM is awesome!

You’re here because you want SPAM. You’ve had SPAM. Maybe you’ve even cooked SPAM. And now, you want to up your SPAM game. Trust me, smoking it is just the way to do that!

Smoked Spam

A Blank Canvas For Flavors

I tried this two ways. One I just scored the SPAM and sprinkled it with Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom before putting it onto the smoker. You can use your favorite seasoning. I like something with some kick to it. Some heat. You like something sweeter? Go for it.

The other SPAM was scored in a checkerboard pattern. It expanded sort of like a Bloomin’ Onion. I then inserted some pineapple chunks and onto the smoker it went! Yum! I used the same seasoning as I used on the other hunk of SPAM. Next time, I might go with a sweet rub but then I liked the spicy seasoning with the sweetness of the pineapple. Well, the nice thing is I can smoke SPAM as many times as I want, as many ways as I want! It’s easy to play with and try different flavors.

Either way is fantastic. You can’t go wrong with smoked SPAM.
