I wanted to do a ham for Easter, but the boss had never seen or heard of doing one, so maybe after checking this out, I can get an OK?

Better check with Lily, over at the Birdcage!!!  She'll let you!!

I've made this recipe and it is incredible. I would have never thought of smoking a ham again. The result was a level of smoke flavour that was wonderful and the glaze is a delight.

I served the ham at a Toastmasters get together at my home to rave reviews. When I invited people to take some food home, the little bit of leftover ham disappeared immediately.

Thanks to Bear and others on this forum, my friends foolishly think I know how to smoke!

Thank You!!

I hope you mean the method I used in the lower (second) two Hams, with the fat in the pans.

With the first method, the fat pieces shrivel up & fall through the grills.

I gotta ask - what happened to those crispy bits up above that had the fat rendered out? Ham and Navy Beans?

LOL----Various:

Some in Baked Beans.

Some in Ham & Wax Beans & Taters.

Some I just gnawed on awhile.

Very Tasty with all that Hickory Smoke!!!

Have you done this with fresh cut hams?

 

[rtbbq2]

Very nicely done Bear.......Makes me hungry.......

I don't personally cure my own Hams, and if you just smoke a fresh Ham, like I did here, it would be just like pulled Pork from a Pork Butt.

I've been thinking about cutting a Fresh Ham into 3" thicknesses, and curing & smoking them to 145*-150*, and slicing it, but I get such good prices for these cheap Smoked Hams, and by doing this to them it makes them taste better than $4 a pound Hams.

Thanks Bear, I agree with you re: the fresh ham. I look forward to trying your method and glaze. We have a supermarket here in Columbia that occasionally puts on a sale fo the precooked hams for $.99/ pound. so I hope soon to get that bargain again!

Been a couple years since that price around here.

Cheapest sale price here would be around Easter, for Butt end $1.49, and Shank end $1.29. The rest of the year is between $1.69 & $2.19 for the same Cheap Hams.
