    First Fresh Ham Question.

    UPDATE! Co-worker sent me an email that said, and I quote "Smoking meat is your gift - the ham is great!! I can't believe you did this good your first time on whole hams and in a new smoker" Nice to know that once in awhile I get lucky.

    First Fresh Ham Question.

    Ok I smoked these hams for a couple days, which in my opinion was way too long. I think my pellets were a bit moist so I ended up putting some in the microwave to dry them out a bit and had no trouble after that. (first time evidently wasn't nuked long enough) Here are a couple pictures. I...

    First Fresh Ham Question.

    Been awhile since I've posted anything on here and I figured this would be a perfect time to do it. One of my co-workers asked me if I would smoke a couple hams for him and I thought why not? After all, I've made bacon, cured porkloins for that canadian bacon taste and so far everything gets...
