Sounds like a pellet smoker would be a good fit. Another option would be a gravity fed. With both you can get good smoke and high enough temp to cook chicken to get a crispy skin. The forced air will also get a nice bark on brisket, pork butts etc.
I don't think there is a perfect smoker. That is why I have several. A pellet smoker is hard to beat for convenience. If it gets someone into this world then it's a good thing.
Cure penetration is about 1/2" a day. Then add a day or two extra. For a bone-in ham you need to inject so you don't get spoilage around the bone. A thinner piece like a pork belly does not need injected.
Are you looking for a Carver Ham? I've also bought Frick's ham at Walmart. But you now know how to make your own!

Interesting. I've warmed up pulled pork in a skillet many times for a bun or tacos. Never thought to do it patty style. Good way to get more crispy texture.
I can see that. Fat cap on top and meat covered in juices probably equals no bark. I'll also usually make a big cut through most of the meat to get extra seasoning a surface area for bark. I watched a Blackie's BBQ video the other day and they split a pork butt in 4-5 pieces and smoke. To...
I won't use the word tragedy, but certainly sad. Glad you're ready to try again after learning a few things. If I'm using my pellet smoker I'm a fat side down guy. Since the heat is from the bottom it protects the meat a bit. The fat will usually stick a bit, but that is better than the...
I'm usually underwhelmed when it come to BBQ places. I still always go there, but it usually does not live up to home cooked. There is a small local place here that makes great ribs Canyon Joe's.
Good idea to repurpose the box. Should help keep temps steady in the winter winds for sure. Where is the vent on the smoker? Not sure a chimney is a must, but smoke needs to escape somehow. Either a hole, chimney or removable roof? Put a hinge on the roof so you can open it a few inches for...
I'll watch some 13U baseball in the morning then the CWS in the afternoon and evening. Not sure what will be on the grill yet, but another ribeye is always great. Wife imported some more Yuengling to Nebraska so I got that going for me...
