    Busy Day Smoking in the Rain Yesterday

    Well not THAT busy. Mostly just standing around and drinking a little whiskey. Was pretty busy about a week and a half ago. Cured two hams; a sweetheart made with the top round as well as a bigger one (split in half) with the rest of the round. Bacon'd two of the bellies and threw the hock in...

    Is It Safe (Would you eat it)?

    Merry Christmas everyone! Just looking for a little advice if anyone is trolling these pages on Christmas. I'm worried that I should just toss my Christmas ham but there are many variables so I want to get some advice. I'm not sure how this went terribly wrong. Had a recipe from a world class...

    Is my country ham spoiled????

    Two years hanging in the smokehouse, I pulled a ham for new years this year stripped off the fat (OK, first big mistake, but that's smoke up the chimney) but due to a family emergency, I had to wrap it in aluminum foil and put it on our back porch which is unheated. I figured to pull it out in...

Used this brine: Recipe...

    Ham Questions

    I have a question about ham. We got a pig butchered at the local butcher a while ago, and there were some hams wrapped up in butcher paper. They don't look like they are pre-cooked or smoked, just cured as it is pink. Looks like a picnic ham. If it is only cured (to get the pink color) how...

    Smoked ham with the kid

    Thought I would share. We picked up a cured ham from the butcher today. Not smoked or cooked. The boy and I made a brine to soak in for 86 hours to try and get some moisture in. He injected it to try and build a flavour profile, and push that moisture inside. Smoked today for 6 hours at...

    Looking for ideas on pork shank

    I have been put in charge of smoking the ham for my office Christmas party and I'm looking for ideas on how to get the job done. This is a pork shank from a wild pig and the guy who killed and processed it brined it before freezing. I have always done double smoked hams but never a raw one. Do...

    Double smoked ham w/ duck fat drippings

    Long time lurker just created an account. Going to be double smoking a ham tomorrow and will be loosely following Bears delicious sounding recipe. Since I also have a duck thawed, I was thinking about instead of using the ham skin and fat above the ham to render on it, using a duck instead and...

    Smoked Uncured Ham?

    Hi all, I am new to the site and probably a novice at best when it comes to smoking. I have done chicken, ribs, pork butt, and roasts before in a smoker but never ham. I wanted to try a ham for thanksgiving breakfast, as it is tradition to have ham, eggs, and mimosas as we wait for the turkey to...

    Cold Smoked Ham, qview

    We were at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago & were hungry for ham sandwiches. Instead of buying a few slices in the deli I found a real nice boneless half ham. No trimming needed, already cooked ready to slice. Sliced it up & it was a very good ham, but it didn't have much smoke flavor...
