Last week I called my hog farmer friend to see about picking up a raw ham to smoke for Christmas.  Asked for one about 20 -22 lbs. but he said "that's a small one, we don't have small ones." So I said I would take what I could get. Tonight I picked up a 35 lb ham. It was the ham section, including the hock and the foot.

Here it is wrapped.



Unwrapped




Cut the leg off. I then separated the hock and the foot (forgot to take a picture.)



Everything is in the refrigerator defrosting and getting ready for a 5-7 day brine.

More to come

It's going to take a lifetime to smoke all this.
