She's A 29 Pounder!
Thanks Bubba! That should solve my issue! Question... A hog that size... is the quality suffering? I mean there was a time when I was smoking hams about 14-15 pounds... I've had several in the 20-22 pound range (wet cured) that just didn't taste like the smaller hams.. -

She's A 29 Pounder!
Bought a fresh bone in raw ham from my processor to smoke & they failed to mentioned it weighed 29 pounds! I use a Weber Bullet that would accommodate this monster but my question is, can I cut this beast in half without affecting quality? I hate to freeze half of it but I've got a long list of... -

Wet Curing Window Of Time Question...........
Only going to have a week to wet cure a raw, bone in, whole ham (sans the shank) ........ FWIW the ham will be injected before curing......... The formula I've been using is one day of curing for every two pounds of ham & most of these hams will run around 18 pounds...... Will a couple of days... -
