Cured and Smoked Ham Hocks?

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Cured in pop's low salt brine for a week. Smoked at 225 with tube until 165. In the past I have done them to 145 but they did not get tender like the store bought in a pot of beans so decided to try 165 this time. Friend gave me some Colorado Pinto Beans. Some of these should make a good pot of beans.

Look great. Happy you can get raw pork hocks. I don't find them.
Have you considered smoking to 140° and dropping in SV at 140° for 24 hours?

Looks good Brian. I wish I could find fresh hocks, never see them around here...

In the boat as you guys, I have never seen them here. The closest good butcher is about a 45 minute drive, they have smoked ones. But thats all ive ever seen.

They have them at Kroger here. Sometimes you have to ask guy in back to get some.

Thanks David. They been getting pretty $ lately and these are so meaty. Last ones I bought ended up having almost no meat on them.

Thanks Eric. Rainy day tomorrow so might make them. Been a while since we have seen any rain.

Thanks John. I am thinking I might pressure cook them first and use that for the beans.
