    How long to smoke Kentucky hams?

    I've made salt cured Kentucky hams in the past but I've never had a smoker big enough to smoke them until now.  How long would an old timer cold smoke a ham? The weights are 8.4 pounds and 13.5 pounds.  I'm looking at aging them after they're done smoking. I'm currently using Peach wood for...

    Smoked Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies - No Bake!

    Sorry for late response! :-(  It would make about 56-60 cookies. I used a Tablespoon but it's always heaping over and piled high. If you make them small using a tablespoon then they'll set up a lot faster.

    Having a Smoker built in Mexico.

    I think it could do better! I used a small fire and as long as it was going I was around 220 to 250 (the size of fire in the above photo) I think at some time I will use firebrick and go on the inside about 1 1/2 to 2 brick widths from the wall. With the firebrick I'll do the fire box then...

    Having a Smoker built in Mexico.

    So I thought I would season the smoker today with some smoked chicken for the family to try. I put them in at 3:30 and at 5:50 they are getting close to being done. For wood I used Peach, Mesquite and a little Guayaba. I'll let you know how well they turned out soon. Oh yeh, the red stuff on the...

    I'll be spending most of the day today scrubbing the inside and outside of the smoker and get it ready to use in a week or two.
