First ham success

A couple weeks back I tried CWs Hobble creek ham recipe. I smoked it instead of boiling and it turned out awesome. Thanks Chuckwagon. It was going to be a christmas ham but alas its all but bones. So I have another one just done brining, ready for the smoker tomorrow.

It looks like it was carved with a chainsaw because people were taking chunks off it while it was sitting in the fridge. You know you have succeeded when the knife stays in the fridge with the ham for "quick carving" lol

Thanks again CW its a great recipe

Thanks, I was happy with the cure distribution internally. I thought I would have more grey patches as I didnt think I was overly surgical with my injecting.

Hi Toby,
That is a mighty fine looking ham. When injecting cure I was always amazed how it spread through the tissue so well.
I never had any grey patches in anything I injected.
Cheers Mate,
