I need to try one of those. davidmcg 03-02-2009, 04:43 PM Looks great to me. I have done whole hams before, I prefer the bone-in over boneless anyday. The marrow in the bone as it cooks out adds a very unique flavor that no brine, seasoning, marinade or wood can duplicate. With Easter next month and another contest I am sure we will see lots of these being smoked. I don't think you could have had a better example to show all of us here, you did fantastic. :thumb: bb53chevpro 03-02-2009, 05:25 PM Great looking ham there Tip. Bravo buddy.

Walking Dude 04-07-2009, 02:58 PM Tip, no pics of it hanging........or how long, or HOW you hung it............. travcoman45 04-07-2009, 06:10 PM looks great ! How long did you smoke it ? And do cured butts cook faster than uncured butts ? ie no sticking points ? CA, sorry, some how I missed this! It took bout 11 hours ta smoke. I don't thin the curin affected the time much. As fer a stall, there was a short one, but each peice a meat is different, the next one could have a longer stall er a shorter one, ya just never know. travcoman45 04-07-2009, 06:12 PM Steve, I didn't hang this en, when I get the new smoke house built, I will hang them from hardwood dowels an use ham bags. Then I will be able ta cold smoke, this one took bout 11 hours runin the GOSM as low as it would go.
