Adam, Wow is all I can say. Those hams look beautiful. You should own the carousel with those. If there were a carousel sticky those hams would be numero uno.

Point for sure.

Wow pc farmer !! You Sir are a meat savage. I will never look at a ham the same way again.

Beautiful work. Highly impressed. You actually raised the hogs, executed them, and processed them all the way to hams? Damn. I thought eating mountain trout by the steam they were caught from was cool.

Nice work Adam, very impressive Grasshopper!

I need to get a smaller injection needle, I hate seeing the holes in the meat.

About the holes, Is there a chance you had air in the needle while injecting? Or any chance it froze after injecting? either of these could cause the holes you have.

No air that I know of. I tried to keep it all liquid. Definitely didn't freeze , I had a mav in the fridge to monitor temp.

Talking about needles , not sure what you are using to inject . If its a standard syringe type , I use a adhesive needle to inject glue for flooring repairs . It's made to "heal" the spot where it goes in . You can buy them , or the whole thing at big box store . May be to short for what you did , but worked great on the picnic . Just FYI .

I used a bigger SS syringe. Has a big needle. I dont know if a cheap one will reach into these big hams. I will try next year thou. BTW, this pig should have been buthered 2 month before we did. Just couldnt get the right weather.

Congrats on the carousel. Looks amazing. What kind of pig's do you raise, I'm trying to convince my husband to let me get 3 . He won't budge because we hunt wild one's here in South Louisiana . And what do you feed them.

Wow Adam that is great looking.... I am waiting for some better weather up here to finish my smokehouse build. We also have a couple hams from pigs we raised and butchered. Points all the way and congrats on the carousel ride.

Is the supplement applesauce?
