OU are you awake yet? Tell us about your night of ham smoking. How did it turn out?

OU812 · October 12, 2009, 05:32:31 AM

Got the ham in sat morn. Getting to room temp with a fan gently blowing

Water pan filled with 50/50 water and red wine

In the smoker with another water pan with water/wine.

After 4 hr smoke, 2 hr pecan, 2 hr hickory, every other one. Cabnet temp 160 F.

After 12 hr pulled when the IT hit 145 F then FTC

Pulled the net off before the bark started to set

Pulled from the cooler still wrapped in the FT and in the fridge to let the smoke blend in. Going to cut in thirds to night, 2 ham butts and the middle will become ham steaks. The end pieces will be for Thanks giving and Christmas dinner.
Why cook at 160 F ? So it wouldn't fat out. I wanted all the fat still in there because I'm going to cook this again

Man that looks great.. so at what temp are you going to finish this off in the oven ? (taking notes)

OU812 · October 12, 2009, 08:34:56 AM

Thanks every one, it looks harder than it looks, the hardest part is the planing.

325 F oven 15 to 20 min per lb pull when IT hits 160 F
