    I plan on starting with a cured one due to having to get it done next week. I would like to cure one for Christmas so open to that to but need a short term solution.

    Understood.  Curing your own is definitely not a short term solution...I crack myself up.

    egrets is good. you want to start with a good ham. cooks carando, and the lowly aldis hams are all descent hams. those three are not overly salty

    If/when you do a "green ham" you'll never go back.  Lots of good advice here and on the interwebs.  Here's mine two cents.

    Not knocking egrets ham, cause it is good but as of late I've turned into a smoke only guy thanks to @mickey suggesting sugar maple smoke.   It makes the ham taste like a ham

    NAKED HAM / SMOKE ONLY


    Let me start that for the first 6 years i have only cooked Egerts Ham (this is an outstanding ham Egged on the BGE). 

     

     Several years ago went looking for (did not know this at the time) a naked ham / smoke only.  Looking at other ways to do a ham w/o the burbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, NO ANYTHING. Guys this was outstanding ham. It tasted like ham. It was a 7 lb Cooks ham (shank) and NOTHING was put on it (Nothing). Just smoke: lots of Sugar Maple wood. Cooked at 300 till 135. I did score the ham deep. Cooked indirect.

    New item: just did spiral ham and turned out fine.

    Thanks for that link, Brandon and while I'm sure a ham that way is great iffin you say so! Both recipes that you and I have posted links to are sort of similar. BUT I think my guests and I prefer the taste benefit of the maple syrup injected in the ham. I do have a take away from his video...I will try cooking a large pork loin and then do that glaze he suggested as THAT seems like a winner to me!

    This is all you need to know.  In this case keep it simple translates to "make it delicious".

    thanks all for the Egrets recipe it was a big hit along with the turkey.  there was a lot left over so I picked up some biscuits from BoJangles this morning so everyone could have some ham biscuits before the holiday.
