Had a hog taken to the locker plant this morning and was wondering about the hams. I have never done one on the egg. Do you still have them cured or not for smoking purpose's ?

    Depends what you want. Uncured one of 'em would make some mighty fine pulled pork! I would thank a good brining for lower internal meat temps and slicing would be quite tastie. Would give more of a triditional "ham" tast. Of course you could buy cure packets and do a true cure b4 smoking.

    I've never cured a ham but we would gut & quarter then let the meat cool & have on the egg within 6 hours. We trapped them live anywhere from 60 to 250 pounds. Not much fun Toten a 250 pound hog across a chest deep alligator infested canal with just a miners lamp on your head. Hog would be tied and mouth taped but would scare the heck out of me. :whistle:
