    RE-SMOKING A SMOKED HAM (Q-VIEW ADDED)

    A while ago someone posted about re-smoking a ham, with a twist.  He removed the skin and a lot of fat, which he than put on an upper rack to let the pork fat render down keeping the ham extra moist. Can someone post a link to that post?   I'm going to try to replicate his idea, and results...

    SMOKING WITH CEDAR

    I have a friend that is wanting to smoke his meats with cedar.  You use cedar in 'chests and closets', not "smoking" or are we missing a new supply of wood??   It just sounds wrong to me, am I wrong, or just inexperienced? Just 'wood; like to know.           Larry

    The info here is great, (actually been LURKEN for about a month), lots of info, and questions.   One wonders thou - do you try to catch the drippens, or just let them pass through?  When you smoke a turkey, or chicken wouldn't the drippens cause more smoke or fire?
