Another 20 lbs of Ham Hocks slow smoked at 215 degrees for 4 1/2 hours
Nothing on the Hocks, just get to temp and load the Hocks
After my batch I cooked last week, more people have asked for some
Great in beans and greens

John after your last cook I did about 10 lbs. WOWSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Aren't ham hocks already smoked? I get mine at an Amish butcher and I'm pretty sure they are. (Haven't bought any this season, yet.) If so, what's the point?*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

I see a mess of beans in your future. What do ham hocks go for per pound?
@jlsm - I assume you can get them fresh or smoked, but I maybe wrong.

You can get both ways. Just re-smoke or totally smoke. I like John's way best. Also toss in a few turkey legs when you do it.jlsm said:Aren't ham hocks already smoked? I get mine at an Amish butcher and I'm pretty sure they are. (Haven't bought any this season, yet.) If so, what's the point?

Big difference between commercial smoked and smoking fresh ones yourself -
@thailandjohn, no question big difference between the two. I was was getting at is the already smoked is improved by re-smoking. Just not as good. The same goes with already smoked turkey lags re-smoked not anywhere as good as smoked from raw. Way better to buy raw and so easy by following Johns way.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

I'm not really sure I can get fresh. I'll look. I use a few every winter.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Go to a Mexican or Chinese market that has a fresh meat department.......the next time I get hocks to smoke, I will take a picture that you can show the butcher in case he does not understand....I will also post on how I have them cut and why
