I have 3 deer hams i need to slice up how do you all do it? There is so many different parts to the ham doyou pull it all apart the slice up separately or do you just debone and slice up the ham hole?
I slowly and somewhat carefully pull apart each group of muscle, trimming as much of the fat and silver skin as possible, then slice(with the grain) into strip, roughly 3/8" as I like it a little thicker. Then marinate, and into the smoker at 150 till it splinters when you bend it( start checking at seven hours( still have some in right now at 12.5 hours)
take it apart into all the muscle groups, then cut each into the strips you want, cut with the grain for tougher jerky or across the grain for more tender jerky
