NePaSmoKer · March 25, 2010, 09:13:25 AM

Carolyns ham looked so good i had to do mine.

Ready to open. This ham is 18.45 pounds. Not going to trim.

Washed and ready for pumping.

Brine made up.

Brine in the brine bag.

Pumping brine close to the bone and into meat.

Did a nepas twist to the brine.

Zipped and ready for the cold soak.

So what was the Nepas twist? I would have removed the skin personally for better absorbsion of the brine and smoke later. See you in a week!!

I just cooked up some spice and added cold water to cool it, then added to brine.

A week is gunna kill me ;D

How did you like the amount you had to inject? Should be a bit more than two bottles of soda pop or 3 1/2 cans of beer as a reference. My math says you had to inject with 44-45 oz of brine.

Lookin' good Nepas!
I think waiting a week to see this is going to kill me too. :D
I'm also interested what the skin will absorb.

Nepas,
