Country Ham

[BBinMO]

I remember my Grand Dad breaking out his home cured and smoked country ham around Christmas. Quite a strong and salty taste for a little boy but a taste I crave as an adult. I guess at 68 I should be considered an adult.

Has anybody cured and then used their SI to smoke a whole country ham? I have high hopes for this knowledgeable group. I've got the crave on me!

Very informative how-to from Virginia Tech. Looks like they cover everything you need to know about curing a country ham.

Good luck

Don, thanks.  That gives me a place to start. 1-3 full days of smoking in an SI might be a challenge at less than 90 degrees.  I wonder how you would smoke that long and still get some sleep?
