punch, it sure looks nice.

Might have to get these a try soon.

Punch the outer rind and fatty areas will retain more salt. Once your ham has rested in the fridge and you start slicing it, the salty taste should go away. Your ham sure turned out looking perty. I can't wait to hear how it tastes for you.

well that's good to hear can't wait to taste it after it's little nap.

My mouth is watering looking at that thing.  WOW.  That's a beautiful thing Punchlock

[BuyLowSellHigh]

Beautiful!  Ham never looked better.  Nice work.

[SouthernSmoked]

Dang that really does look awesome!

[VI_Smoker]

That looks awesome - I have a feeling I'm going to have to have a go at doing one!!

[punchlock]

Well today I pulled the ham from it's resting place and served it for supper. Now I have to say Tenpoint when you told me the salt would mellow I was skeptical. I will never doubt you again, the seasoning was perfect the taste was outstanding and I appreciate all your guidance.

I doubt I will ever buy a store bought ham again.


Tonight's simple meal



All cut up and ready for the deep freeze



I am roasting the bones off in the oven for a batch of baked beans. Not gonna let that flavor go to waste.

Beans soaking

Use it all!

Great Job Punch!

[Tenpoint5]

Great to here you enjoyed it. I didn't do any special and I dang sure am not a pro at this stuff. I am still learning new stuff every day around here.


I have to ask. Do you have little kids or do you just make that big of a mess, that there is a plastic cover on the table just where you eat??? ;D ;D

[punchlock]

Oh there are kids, but the plastic is for me. ;D

I'm at it again, thanks to TenPoint5.....
        This one weighed in at a whopping 32 lbs. Notice the ham netting I had did not fit the ham, it was a chore to get it to work. been riding in the cabinet for 17.5 hours and I have 4 hours left of smoking to do before the final cook.

Ham makes me happy  ;D should I see a doctor?

[KyNola]

YOW! That thing is huge!

[classicrockgriller]

That is MASSIVE!

[FLBentRider]

... And it seems like I've been in every store within 25 miles and there is NOT A HAM TO BE FOUND!!! ARG!!!
