Smithfield salt cured uncooked ham how to smoke

GoldenQ · January 2018

I got a smithfield uncooked salt cured ham and need to know what to do before smoking and what type of chunks to use on XL to smoke and what temp. I assume apple chunks and 300 till about 160 IT. please suggest what I should do

Soak it and scrub it for 2 days(or more) changing the water, depending on your ability to handle salt. This will give you the IT. You can use any wood you want but I would want something with a stronger flavor than Apple.

since it should be foiled or water bath when cooking I don't think you will add flavor with the egg. I would cook it in the oven and then put on the egg unwrapped for a while to add a smoke flavor at a very low temp or use a pellet tray. All I have ever seen smoked were hung and the process takes many days. Maybe someone on here has cooked a whole raw ham on the egg.

Agree with the soaking. I would do hickory mixed with apple. Or maybe even maple and basted with some maple syrup.

I have wanted to try cooking a country ham. I believe Alton Brown had a Good Eats episode on cooking country hams.
