Ham, cook time

I have a front shoulder that I am going to pull out of brine and soak.
Charcuterie says says smoke at 200 deg. for  couple of hours.
Is that all it will take? Seems like it would take longer.

    How much does it weigh?

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    OK I read it wrong, it is a couple hours before you put glaze on.
    It is like 9 lbs., it will take 6-8 hrs @ 250, right?

    At 225 it will take 1 1/2 hours a pound give or take a little depending on several variables. I'm assuming its a picnic correct?

    If it's a picnic ham I recommend you start sampling the meat at 150 and stop when it's to your liking. If you want pulled pork then cook until it pulls. I want to point out I pull my picnics at 140-145 and they are outstanding. But do bear in mind that a lot of people are squeamish about pork so you may want to take that into consideration.

    Again if you are not squeamish pull the big sub at 135 and it will rise to a perfect 140. Wish you luck and a Happy Easter my friend

    One last tip and remember this is just one mans opinion. Any time you cooking to a internal temp of 150 or less there is no reason to inject other than adding a flavor profile. Moisture is usually not affected on the big subs until you start pushing the internal temp well beyond this point. Hope this helps my friend.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    @SGH, you need to remember to type "ask @cazzy" instead of just "ask cazzy". Otherwise, he may never know!
