Ingredients

Ham:

  • 1 Compart Duroc Ham
  • 3 tbsp BBQ Rub
  • Canola Oil as needed

Cuban Sandwich:

  • 2 cups leftover Pulled Pork
  • 8-10 Swiss Cheese Slices
  • Dill Pickle Chips as needed
  • Yellow Mustard as needed
  • Canola Oil as needed
  • Cuban Bread or Buns

Instructions

Ham:

  • Preheat a rotisserie to 325F cooking indirectly.
  • Skewer the ham onto the rotisserie and place on the grill to cook for about 1-1.5 hours or about 20 minutes per pound. Add more seasoning as needed.
  • When the ham has reached 145F internal, pull off and let rest for 20 minutes. Then slice up and keep warm.

Cuban Sandwich:

  • Add to your Swiss cheese, sliced ham, pulled pork, yellow mustard and dill pickles. Repeat until you have built all your sandwiches.
  • Preheat a grill to a medium low heat (around 300F) and grab a heavy cast iron skillet (or similar).
  • Add the sandwich to the grill and use the skillet to press down hard to sear the bread. I put a piece of foil between the sandwich and the skillet to prevent sticking.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Pull off once done.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

What's so special about Cowboy Charcoal anyway? 
Cowboy Charcoal is the real deal for grilling, bringing 100% natural hardwood that not only cranks up the heat but also gives your food that legit smoky flavor. Unlike those chemical-packed briquettes, this stuff burns hotter, lights up fast, and consistently brings out those wood-fired vibes in everything you cook. In other words, it’s pure, clean fuel for epic grilling—perfect, especially, for making a killer grilled Cuban sandwich.
