Tailgater Touchdown Ham Sandwich
Tailgater Touchdown Ham Sandwich with tailgating season in full swing we wanted to do something simple that will impress your friends with your tailgating skills. We got about a 4 pound piece of a ham chub, sauced and smoked it for 3 hours. Makes the best ham and cheese sandwiches ever. Served on a toasted jalapeno bun with potato salad and baked beans. You’ll score a touchdown!
We have always loved creating AWESOME and hearty camp meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner that will be remembered for years. This is another one of those. Our Bison Blue Burger is super easy to do on our Green Mountain Grills Davey Crockett Tailgater and they have that “Kiss of Smoke” from Pacific Pellets Smoked Hickory pellets. With hunting and football season just around the corner I thought I would share this one. Don’t tell your buddies how easy this is to do, and be sure you have them do the dishes (and buy the beer).
Camp gear has really changed a lot over the years and one of those changes I like the most are tailgater grills. Our Green Mountain Davey Crockett tailgater runs on 12 volts DC, weighs only 65 pounds and you can set it anywhere. Most hunting camps don’t have electricity and that’s not a problem with the Davey Crockett. It will run for days on an “Emergency Jump Starter” that will fit in your glove box. So, you can smoke or grill up a storm in camp from burgers to pulled pork and, of course, delicious chops and steaks. Anything you can dream of…

A pellet Grill Recipe
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours @ 150 degrees (65c)
Grill: Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker
Pellets: Pacific Pellets Smoked Hickory pellets
Ingredients: Tailgater Touchdown Ham Sandwich
- Chub Processed ham (ours was 4 lbs.)
- GMG’s Cattle Drive BBQ Sauce
- Jalapeno rolls, or your favorite sandwich bread
- Cheese of choice, we used Colby-Jack slices
- Condiments of choice (Patti liked horseradish mustard, Ken preferred mayo)
Directions: Tailgater Touchdown Ham Sandwich
This is a simple cook. Cut some groves in a diamond pattern across the top of the chub. This is to hold the sauce. Then, sauce it up and put it on the Davy Crockett Tailgater @ 150 degrees (65c) for 3 hours. We put another coat of sauce on it once every hour or so.
Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also, you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much, if any, smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About Our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Memphis, Royall, Traeger pellet grills, Char-Griller, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Pizza 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….
