smoking a ham

Unknown

Have just purchased a 21lb. fresh ham from local butcher (uncooked, uncured). Plan to cook for Easter lunch. Internal temp of 160* - how long to cook and what dome temp. - any thoughts??

scott boyce,[p]If you are planning on having it as HAM you're a bit late. If you want to make ham out of that thing you need to cure it for several days, maybe even weeks, have not done one that size in a long time. If you cook it as it is you'll end up wiht some cooked pork but it will not be ham.[p]Now, that being said, I cooked a 21 pound fresh ham last summer and if memory serves me correctly I cooked it for about 7-8 hours at 350 indirect? Man, I'd have to look back at some notes but I remember it didn't take as long as I thought it would to get it up to about 150 internal.[p]Hope this helps.[p]Troy
