Ham on New Years

[cansmoke]

We've got a 4 1/2 lb. bone in ham for New Years Day.
I use an MES 130.
2 Questions:
How long and at what temp.
I'm thinking of using maple wood chips.
I know it needs to brined.

Not cured

Kinda late to make a ham out of it with the short time frame.

Too late to make a ham out of a ham?

It is a ham just not cooked.

Lol I have no help just assumed if he was calling it a ham it wasn't some other cut he was trying to turn into a ham

Look up “ham in a hurry recipe” on google. Might be traeger or something’s site but they have a good recipe making a quick ham. I’ve used it as a guideline em before. You can brine/ cure it tonight and get it ready to cook tomorrow! Good luck

It IS a ham. I know this butcher and he sold it as a ham. He's an award winning butcher and also a client.

Most likely an uncured ham.......they are popular these days with people that can't eat nitrates.
Are you sure it's not cooked as in raw?

 

[daveomak]

There are more nitrates in vegetables than a cured product has...
Generally 5-10 times as much nitrate...

My apologies to this illustrious group!

I have a cured ham. I will be adding some smoke to it.

Suggestions on time and temp for a 4 1/2 - 5 lb ham.
