Smoking Some Ham!

Brother and I butchered us a hog last weekend, vacuum sealed up some future hams in a brine. 8 days later and I just put these guys into the smoke!

 

Btw, really liking this grill. I'm maintaining a low temp smoke with little effort.

 

Still cruising at 175.

 

And done, yet still raw. Vacuumed sealed and into the freezer. Will probably cook one Saturday, to be continued...

 

Oh the sandwiches you'll be eating! looks great Adam.

 

This is probably my favorite forum to lurk in here. I have never smoked any of my own meats but really want to build a little smokehouse. Awesome looking hams dude!

 

Aw man!! you know what I am craving now

 

I have an idea! Think we are going to slow cooker one soon, maybe have Mom and Dad over.

 

When are you cooking the rest and inviting us all over? Well Seasoned said he will bring the beer!

 

You're all welcome, but if I get too many I will need more ham. Half of what's pictured is my brother's. Division of labor, Dad made the bacon, we made sausage and ham and it was my brother's hog so he paid for our services in pork flesh.

 

Do I ever wish I could meet you guys! I won't be able to get away again until after I have a horse barn built.

 

Barn raising at the Gasifier residence.

 

Got some shanks in a brine now, this time with cure #1. Just had some of the bacon Dad made-- pretty damm good stuff!

 

I'm lining up some Amish for next year. Prolly summertime.
