Nice job Dave !
I have recently been doing the same thing myself, turning picnics into hams. I removed the skin on the first 2 that I did, so that I could render down and keep the fat. After smoking, I cooled them over night in the fridge with the netting still on and had no problems removing the netting. Might be the rendering fat and softer skin is attaching to the netting more securely after cooling down or maybe try using something similar to peel eeze on the netting would help ? I don't know.
I do have 4 more shoulders curing right now I'm going to smoke up for Thanksgiving gifts.
Thanks for sharing your great pictures with all of us and I heartily agree these hams are MONEY !
Here's a pic of the skinned hams next day after the netting was removed after cooling over night.
Nice work! Those look awesome!
Oh my...
