skin a heat and eat ham before smoking??

[seadog92]

I want to smoke a "smoked" heat and serve ham. I smoked one last week, and the end result was great except the skin was pretty tough and the smoke flavor wasn't very pronounced. I wondered if removing the skin before smoking would help allow the smoke to penetrate the meat better. Any suggestions? I plan on injecting a rum and brown sugar butter sauce first.

I never skin one. I do know a lot of people do. I would think it will help get the smoke flavor in.

Happy smoken.

I think I'll try it along with the buttered rum injection.  I'll post photos as I do it this week.  Thanks for the feedback.
