Question for Olds

Today at the supermarket the precooked sprial sliced hams were on sale for .99/lb.  Well for 9 bucks I couldn't pass them up.  So my question is can you t-shirt one of these guys and it come out good?

Umm I've never done a sprial ham before. I think if I was to try it I would tie the ham up with butcher string so the layers stayed tight against each other.

Now this raises an interesting idea. After the cold smoking would I or should I cut the strings and then wrap the ham while still in the T-Shirt in plastic for 7 days.... Now don't blame me if this goes South on you, but I think I would make sure the T-shirt was good an wet, and I would cut the strings, wrap in plastic and then rotate the ham daily by 1/4 turn for 7 days. Then bake it as you would normally.

I just pulled my cold smoke ham from last Sunday and at the moment I'm allowing it to go to room temp before I bake it tomarrow. I got to say the Duck-man is correct about using pecan for the smoke. The liquid in this T-shirt is to die for. Much more of everything over oak in this case.  At least that is my opinion.

If your ham is 10 pounds then I would smoke it 5-6 hours cold.

At the price you paid what have you got to lose? Most stuff I do I learned by trial and error. Believe me I've have had my share of stuff ending up in the trash~~LOL!

I will be looking for your reply. This is an interesting project for sure. Good Luck!
