    Is Christmas Spoiled? Please HELP

    Like i mentioned, we went ahead and smoked it, it tastes sooooo good. We ate it, except my wife, it tasted excellent, I baked it (sliced) for about an hour after smoking to make sure it heated through completely and all bacteria if any would die. Merry Christmas

    I used Insta Cure #1 on the brine, not sure if that helps / matters.

    Its a wet cure, so it was submerged in the brine. I did not take the temperature but I would say the house was at around 65F so the ham had to be less than that. I did not inject the ham though just submerged it in a big container. Its covered with the liquid.
