Well i got the ham from the brine yesterday morning. All rinsed and a few hour cold water bath until around 6pm. Talking with Chris i decided to go this way (kinda away from my poll post)

Hung the ham in my 6 rack at 6:45 pm. Temp with my PID was set at 120* for 12 hours. I backed this time up with the number 2 setting at 130* for 5 hours. (just in case i slept in)

No smoke.



Time of this pic was 7:15am.



Being i dont have any hickory pucks left, Im going this way with the hickory for 5 hours. Got the fat cap up so it helps keep the meat moist.

Put a foil pan of water in to keep it moist.

Looking at the pictures a little closer I have to ask since I know you did it. What did you mop the ham with Nepas? Hmmmm??

Ya know i was going to do it but i didnt. Maybe it was the 3 T of brown sugar i put in the foil pan.

And yes i was very tempted to cut and taste but i didnt. When i took it from the rib rack there was a small chunk stuck so i got it. Taste is pretty darn good  ;D....Nice work Rick N Chris
