There is so much to love about the holidays. Everyone has their own special way to celebrate. We cook and feed people, especially friends and neighbors. We made a delicious ham made extra easy with our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven. Plus, having our outdoor oven gives us extra room to cook a big ham and lots of sides. Our special thanks to Don & Lisa Rogers the owners of Juice it Up in Murrieta Village Walk for the fresh squeezed pomegranate juice. It’s not only tart and sweet, but a beautiful color! The Pacific Living Outdoor Oven also lets us smoke our food for another layer of flavor. We used a combination of apple and pecan pellets.
Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

In The Pacific Living Outdoor Oven
Cooking Directions: Pomegranate Honey Glazed Ham
Cooking in the Pacific Living Outdoor Oven is a snap. If you are going to use the smoke box fill it up first with either wood chips or pellets. I like Lumberjack pellets because there are so many different kinds and low ash. (Easy clean up.)
Turn on the propane tank. Open the oven door so you can see and hear when the burner lights. Turn the control knob to the high position and hold it in. At this time press the igniter button. You’ll be able to hear and see the burner light. Continue to hold the control knob for about 10 seconds for the burner to get hot.
Close the door and preheat the oven to your desired temp. You may have to adjust it up or down until you reach your temperature. But, once you hit it the oven will hold it. Bake ham uncovered, 2 hours at 325 degrees (107c) basting occasionally with glaze.

Note: The bottom stone and it gets “HOT” so you need to stay right with it or you will burn what your are cooking. I only use heavy cast iron or baking dishes here.
For most things I have found that it is better to use the middle shelf. You can use a stone here or not depending on your cook.

About our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Outdoor Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
