    How long to smoke Kentucky hams?

    DaveOmak, I worked on the smoker yesterday. I installed two temp guages and also found a cover for the smoke chip tray.  I also moved the hams to the back of the smoker to get them out of the direct line of smoke.  Smoke chip tray cover I made. New temp guages.

    Just how much air circulation needed?

    I have a meat curing chamber I've been using for a short time. I'm wondering if my fan is to big and if I need to install a smaller fan. This one can be seen in the back of the hams, it's a 6" fan. (update: with fan photo) I have it on an automatic timer for 5 minutes on 5 minutes off 24 x 7...

    How long to smoke Kentucky hams?

    Thanks for the tips! I'll try finding a lid today. At this time I've been having them in the smoker for 4 to 6 hours at a time then I take them out and put them into the curing chamber to cool a little. Then the next day do it again. My first time and just getting to know the smoker, I'll cut...

    How long to smoke Kentucky hams?

    DSL1, my mistake in writing.. I checked the recipe and the cure I have and I used Cure #2  https://gallatin.ca.uky.edu/files/how_to_make_a_country_ham.pdf Got me worried for a bit that I used the wrong cure. (Will edit above posts)

    How long to smoke Kentucky hams?

    I'm looking for the recipe. Also I need to look at the cure I used, it might have been cure #2 . I started them in Mid December and since then I've started many other things. I might have got confused when I wrote.

    How long to smoke Kentucky hams?

    I used salt, cure #2 & pepper. 1.5 days per pound of meat. The larger hams I let go for another 3 days. I'm cold smoking them keeping it under 100 degrees.  I know my Great Uncle in Kentucky used to just let them hang in the smoke house forever.
