    My first dry cured ham, wasn't sure if it was spoiling (Update, it came out PERFECT!! with QView!)

    She's taken about 36 hours of smoke so far, I brought her into the garage for a few days over the weekend as the temps were steadily below freezing, most nights in the 10's. Now the temp is back around low 30's and we are about to get dumped on with snow. Ham sitting in the smoker as I type...

    Damnit!!!! That was my ANMS sawdust kit, and the pellets must have all caught fire and burned at once! I went out to check on that nice thin blue smoke and when I put my hand on top of the grill, which I had partially covered with the grill cover it was pretty warm... even a bit stuck to the...

    Good question, I don't know.. I guess, why not leave it on? It is kinda skank. I suppose I'm too far in the salting process to consider removing it. I don't think there is any harm leaving it is there?

    My first dry cured ham, wasn't sure if it was spoiling (Update, it came out PERFECT!! with QView!)

    Ham update, I will get some pics to follow, promise. Ham has taken 28 days of salt using Morton's Tender quick following the application instructions on the bag. My ham was just about 13 lbs, so I used 1tbsp of tender quick per lb, or 13 tbsp per application. Added some spices here and there to...

    Back in effect after a 7 year hiatus of cold smoking and curing this ham. Round 2 coming up! This time a whole leg with hoof intact I got from my sister. Will post some progress pics when I have a chance.

    Country Cured Ham - From Go to Show: Q/View

    Any advice from anyone on hanging a ham that has the hoof intact? Naturally, I would think hanging it hock side down is the way to go since the hoof end is sealed up and no juices or blood can escape. Plus, it's such a naturally awesome place to hang a ham, which is why it was left on.

    Country Cured Ham - From Go to Show: Q/View

    Back in 2013, I was all up in this thread, curing my very first country ham. That was the last one I did, sadly, but I now have an entire leg with hoof intact that I got as a gift from my sister who now raises pigs. It may be a mangalica from a smaller pig. Entire leg is only about 13 lbs...
