Shoulder ham?

The Cen-Tex Smoker

Anyone done a shoulder ham? I won't to do a 5-8lb ham and I can't find a fresh ham that small anywhere. Need to get it in the cure tonight and there are some great shoulder roasts at whole paycheck that would seem to for the bill.

Any thoughts?

Little Steven

I haven't done it but I know a guy that has.   Just like ham with a bit more fat. We get a product up here called cottage roll which s a bone out shoulder cured and smoked.

Little Steven

Just wanted to say hello brother Tex. I'm more than confident that you have the ham under control.

#4 in cure tonight or in AM should be plenty of time to have it for the big day. What are you curing in. Do you have a particular wet cure recipe you prefer to use on fresh ham?

NPHuskerFL

Also does it have bone in?

That's what I was about to say. I love ham around the holidays... would probably pass out from sheer joy after eating a home-cured one. On the bucket list.

Turned out very good! Thanks Steve. You are correct as usual. I'll probably do this from now on. I like the extra fat

Perfection personified. =D> =D> =D>

I turbod one last night myself due to time constraints. However it was not cured at home due to work. Turned out pretty good nonetheless.

Nice. Need to try that.

Cen-Tex that's pure money baby! Beautiful pink color with a detectable caramelized exterior. Like a meat bon bon.

A-Holes left the skin on and rolled it inside. I have never dealt with a bigger ass hat meat guy than this in my life (whole foods). We were looking for a raw ham and he was a **** about that. He has a 22 Pound leg and said the very smallest he could cut would be 11lbs. I said we didn't have time to cure an 11 lb leg in 4 days. He suggested that we buy one of thier crap precooked spiral cut hams because "you know, they taste like taste like ham". We came back from the bar like 30 min later to buy this shoulder roast and someone had bought the 22lb ham. He said "look what I sold while you guys were thinking about it". I'm thinking I'm going to go dump this in his lap tomorrow.

Brother Tex I feel I would probably beat his ass if I had to deal with him.

That looks great. I'm going to try this. Might not even need an occasion...

Flavor is awesome but the skin is chewy. I'm really pissed. Im seriously going to take it back to them fully cooked and glazed tomorrow just to be an ass. He sure was one to me.
